Admission  to  College 


Every  student  entering  college  must  file  an  official  statement  of  his 
previous  educational  work.  Applications  for  credential  blanks  and  all 
communications!  with  regard  to  admission  should  be  addressed  to  the 
Registrar.  Official  high  school  records  should  be  filed  with  the  Registrar 
at  the  close  of  the  school  year,  if  possible,  and  not  later  than  the  first 
Monday  in  September,  December,  or  March.  The  Registrar  will  deter- 
mine the  value  of  all  credentials  and  will  notify  the  applicant  of  their 
acceptance.  He  will  also  assign  the  applicant  for  admission  to  his  position 
in  the  course  desired.  Continuance  in  such  assignment  will  be  conditioned 
upon  the  student's  doing  creditable  work. 

Applicants  for  admission  to  all  collegiate  courses  should  be  at  least 
sixteen  years  of  age. 

A  student  may  enter  the  College  at  the  beginning  of  any  quarter.  Those 
wishing  to  enter  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  or  third  quarter  should 
find  out  from  the  Registrar  whether  entrance  at  that  time  is  feasible  in 
their  case.  The  regular  classes  begin  with  the  opening  in  September  and 
the  student  is  urged  to  commence  at  that  time.  Some  Freshman  subjects 
are,  however,  begun  in  each  quarter.  The  College  desires  to  emphasize 
the  importance  of  thorough  preparation,  particularly  in  subjects  that  are 
to  be  continued  in  College.  Since  without  thorough  preparation  satisfac- 
tory progress  is  impossible,  students  are  urged  to  review  carefully,  before 
entering  College,  algebra  through  quadratics  and  English  composition  and 
grammar.  Those  desiring  admission  should  examine  Requirements  for 
Admission. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR   ADMISSION 

The  requirements  for  admission  are  stated  in  terms  of  units.  An 
entrance  unit  is  defined  as  thirty-six  weeks  of  high  school  work  in  one 
subject  of  study,  with  five  class  periods  per  week,  each  not  less  than  forty 
minutes  in  length.  Each  laboratory  period  should  be  at  least  eighty-five 
minutes  in  length.  A  unit  is  equivalent  to  two  semester  credits.  The  fol- 
lowing studies  are  necessary  prerequisites  to  the  taking  of  the  collegiate 
courses  offered  by  the  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine. 

(A)  ENGLISH,  three   (3)   units. 

HISTORY,  CIVICS,  ECONOMICS,  one  (1)  unit. 
MATHEMATICS: 

Algebra,  one  (1)  unit. 

Plane  Geometry,  one  (1)  unit. 

(B)  Enough  work  from  the  five  principal  groups  of  subjects,  viz.:  Eng- 

lish, Foreign  Language,  History-Civics-Economics  group,  Math- 
ematics and  Natural  Science  to  make  a  total  of  eleven  (11)  units 
including  the  units  enumerated  above  under   (A). 

(C)  ELECTIVES.     Whatever  work  to  the  extent  of   four  additional 

units  the  high  school  certifies  as  accepted  by  that  school  for 
graduation;  subject  to  the  definitions  of  units  of  entrance  credit 
adopted  by  the  North  Central  Association  of  Colleges  and  Sec- 
ondary Schools,  or  in  the  bulletins  published  by  the  Iowa  State 
Board  of  Education.

1.    Admission  to  Graduates  of  IOWA  HIGH   SCHOOLS 

A  graduate  of  a  public  four-year  high  school  in  Iowa,  who  presents 
fifteen  units  of  work,  will  be  admitted  without  examinations  to  such  col- 
legiate work  as  he  is  prepared  to  pursue,  upon  presenting  a  certificate 
signed  by  the  Superintendent  or  the  Principal,  specifying  the  branches  of 
study  and  credits  included  within  his  high  school  course  of  study.  A 
graduate  of  any  private  four-year  high  school,  seminary,  or  academy  ap- 
proved by  the  Board  of  Secondary  School  Relations  will  be  admitted  on 
the  same  basis. 

If  a  high  school  graduate  does  not  meet  present  admission  requirements 
to  the  course  he  desires  to  pursue  the  deficiency  must  be  removed  by 
studies  taken  at  the  College.  Credit  earned  in  removing  such  deficiencies 
will  not  be  applied  toward  college  graduation  in  the  specific  course  chosen. 

2.  Admission  to  Graduates  of  High  Schools  in  Other  States 

Graduates  of  high  schools  accredited  by  the  state  universities  or  other 
state  accrediting  agencies  will  be  admitted  by  certificate.  High  school 
graduates,  whose  certificates  would  be  accepted  without  examination  by 
reputable  colleges  in  the  state  in  which  they  are  located,  provided  these 
states  have  no  accrediting  system,  will  be  admitted  by  certificate.  Gradu- 
ates of  other  schools  will  be  required  to  take  entrance  examinations. 

3.  Admission  to  Non-graduates  of  High  Schools 

The  student  not  a  graduate  presenting  credits  from  a  public  four-year 
high  school  or  a  private  four-year  high  school,  academy,  or  seminary, 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Secondary  School  Relations. 

(A)  Such  student  will  not  be  admitted  unless  he  presents  as  many  as 
fourteen  (14)  acceptable  units  by  certificate,  by  examination,  or  by  both 
certificate  and  examination ;  and  he  is  to  be  conditioned  to  the  extent  of 
enough  units  to  bring  the  number  up  to  fifteen  (15)  units.  These  units 
must  be  according  to  specified  list  of  units  found  under  pre-technical  work 
on  page  8. 

(B)  Entrance  conditions  must  be  removed  within  one  calendar  year 
after  the  student's  admission,  or  before  he  registers  for  his  second  year's 
work;  and  the  student  is  to  be  registered  at  once  for  the  work  in  which 
he  is  deficient  as  a  part  of  the  normal  amount  of  work  allowed  to  stu- 
dents. If,  however,  he  shows  by  the  end  of  the  first  term  that  he  is  an 
unusually  capable  student,  he  may  be  permitted  under  the  faculty  regu- 
lations to  register  for  additional  work  during  the  following  term. 

(C)  Students  admitted  with  conditions  are  not  to  be  permitted  to  re- 
move these  conditions  within  the  allotted  one  year  by  taking  entrance 
examinations  in  subjects  in  which  they  have  been  taking  college  courses 
for  credit. 

If  a  student  presenting  the  required  entrance  credit  in  a  given  subject 
fails  to  do  satisfactory  work  in  the  succeeding  college  course  in  that 
subject,  he  is  not  be  assigned  to  a  pre-technical  course  in  the  subject 
with  a  view  of  securing  college  credit  for  such  pre-technical  course. 

4.   Admission  by  Examination  and  on  Other  Evidences  of  Proficiency 

Students  who  desire  to  enter  by  examination  and  who  present  satis- 
factory evidence  that  they  have  devoted  sufficient  time  to  preparation,  will 
be  given  examinations  in  any  subject  required  for  entrance. 

Students  desiring  to  enter  by  examination  will  be  expected  to  pass 
examinations  in  the  required  and  elective  subjects,  according  to  work 
outlined  on  page  8.

The  Registrar  will  arrange  for  the  other  entrance  examinations  required 
by  the  candidates  for  admission. 


Advanced  Standing 


Students  of  other  colleges  will  be  admitted  to  advanced  standing  in  this 
college  under  the  following  conditions : 

First,  they  must  present  a  letter  of  honorable  dismissal. 

Second,  the  entrance  requirements  to  this  college  must  be  fully  satis- 
fied (see  Admission  under  Entrance  Requirements). 

Third,  it  is  required  that  all  credits  from  other  colleges  be  sent  by  the 
proper  officers  to  such  institutions,  duly  certified,  to  the  Registrar  of  this 
College ;  such  certificates  to  include  number  of  weeks  the  student  has  pur- 
sued the  studies  in  question  and  the  number  of  hours'  credit  received  in 
each  semester,  as  well  as  the  portion  of  the  subject  covered. 

No  standing  shall  be  accepted  from  any  high  school  or  academy  for 
regular  four-year  college  work.  It  is  the  privilege  of  any  student  to  ask 
for  and  receive  examination  in  any  subject  taught  in  any  department  of 
the  College,  provided  that  he  can  show  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  head  of 
the  department  that  he  has  made  the  necessary  preparation. 

Students  from  Other  Colleges 

Work  of  recognized  merit  that  has  been  taken  in  colleges  and  universi- 
ties of  good  rank  and  standing  will  be  credited  for  an  equivalent  amount 
of  work  so  far  as  it  applies  in  any  course  offered  in  this  College. 

Students  taking  work  in  this  way  will  present  official  records  of  their 
work  to  the  advanced  standing  committee  at  the  office  of  the  Registrar  to 
ascertain  the  credits  to  be  allowed.  It  will  be  understood  between  the 
applicant  and  the  committee  that  the  credits  are  only  provisionally  accepted 
and  that  their  final  acceptance  depends  wholly  upon  the  student  main- 
taining a  good  average  standing  for  one  year  at  the  College. 


Fees  and  Expenses 


The  entire  expenses  of  a  student  need  not  exceed  $500.00  per  year. 

Honor  Scholarships:  The  State  Board  of  Education  has  provided  one 
honor  scholarship  for  each  four-year  approved  high  school  in  the  state. 
This  scholarship  represents  the  same  value  in  cash  whether  presented  at 
the  State  College  or  at  any  one  of  the  other  state  institutions.  It  is  worth 
$20.00  for  the  year,  and  at  the  Sate  College  this  amount  will  be  allowed 
on  fees. 

As  soon  as  any  school  has  made  its  nomination  for  the  scholarship,  the 
school  authorities  are  expected  to  report  the  name  and  address  of  the 
nominee,  together  with  a  signed  certificate  of  scholarship,  to  the  Secretary 
of  Secondary  Schools,  State  Board  of  Education,  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  who 
will  approve  the  nomination  if  the  conditions  have  been  met,  forward  the 
proper  credentials  to  the  candidate,  and  send  the  certificate  of  credits  to 
the  institution  elected. 

Nominations  should  be  made  in  June,  and  must  be  made  not  later  than 
August  1st  of  each  year. 

Tuition:  The  Code  of  Iowa  reads  as  follows:  "The  tuition  in  the 
College  herein  established  shall  be  forever  free  to  pupils  from  the  state 
over  sixteen  years  of  age,  who  have  been  residents  of  this  state  six 
months  previous  to  their  admission." 

To  non-resident  students  a  tuition  fee  of  $17.00  per  quarter  is  charged. 

Tuition  Scholarships:  The  form  of  Tuition  Scholarships  is  intended 
only  for  those  students  from  other  states,  who,  without  such  aid,  cannot 
secure  a  college  education.  The  conditions  on  which  this  aid  is  granted 
are  as  follows:  (1)  The  applicant  must  be  in  need  of  financial  assistance; 
(2)  Must  be  of  good  moral  character;  (3)  Must  give  evidence  of  good 
preparation ;  (4)  the  recipient  must  give1  evidence  of  ability,  by  good 
standing  in  one  of  the  regular  courses  leading  to  the  bachelor's  degree. 

The  aid  which  is  given  from  the  Tuition  Scholarships  Fund  is  not 
regarded  as  a  loan.  If  a  student  who  receives  this  aid  is  able  to  return 
the  amount  in  later  years,  it  will  be  credited  to  his  accounts  on  the  books 
of  the  College  Treasurer,  and  the  sum  will  be  put  into  the  Tuition 
Scholarship  Fund  of  the  College  for  the  use  of  future  students. 

All  applications  for  these  scholarships  must  be  made  on  the  uniform 
blanks  furnished  by  the  President. 

Thirty-eight  tuition  scholarships  are  available:  eight  to  each  collegiate 
class,  two  to  sub-collegiate  students,  and  four  to  students  from  foreign 
countries. 

International  Scholarships  are  granted  to  students  from  the  countries 
of  our  allies  in  the  war ;  said  scholarships  to  exempt  each  of  such  students 
from  the  payment  of  fees  and  tuition  to  an  amount  not  to  exceed  $100 
annually. 

Incidental  and  Janitor  Fees:  The  regular  incidental  and  janitor  fee 
for  the  quarter  is  $6.00  for  all  students  who  complete  their  classification 
during  the  regular  classification  period.  Beginning  with  the  first  day  on 
which  classes  are  held,  the  fee  for  college  students  will  be  $8.00  plus  $1.00 
additional  for  each  day  thereafter  until  the  classification  is  completed. 
This  fee  is  used  as  follows:    hospital,  $2.00;  students'  repair  fund,  $1.00; 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  13 

incidental  and  janitor  service,  balance.  Students  who  register  for  part- 
time  work,  instead  of  paying  the  full  incidental  and  janitor  fee,  may  pay 
the  hospital  fee  of  $2.00,  and  50c  per  credit  hour  for  the  hours  or  fraction 
of  hours  work  taken. 

All  men  students  (except  those  in  Graduate  College)  are  required  to 
pay  a  fee  of  $1.00  per  quarter.  This  fee  entitles  the  student  to  the  general 
use  of  the  gymnasium  including  the  lockers  and  shower  baths.  (Men  who 
are  required  to  classify  in  Physical  Training  shall  pay  a  fee  of  $1.00  per 
quarter  in  addition  to  this  fee.) 

If  the  student  severs  his  connection  with  the  College,  he  shall  obtain  an 
order  to  settle  from  the  Vice-president,  Room  114  Central  Building,  which 
order  shall  be  filed  with  the  Treasurer.  The  refund  will  be  made  at  the 
close  of  the  quarter. 

Laboratory  Fees:  Laboratory  fees  at  the  actual  cost  of  breakage  and 
usage  are  charged  to  the  students,  the  Treasurer's  receipt  for  such  fees 
being  required  before  the  students  are  admitted  to  laboratories.  For  the 
amount  of  the  fee  in  any  study,  see  description  of  the  study  under  its 
department.  All  refunds  on  laboratory  fees  will  be  made  at  the  close  of 
the  quarter. 

Diploma  Fee:     A  diploma  fee  of  $5.00  is  payable  before  graduation. 

Exemption  from  Fees:  All  honorably  discharged  soldiers  and  sailors 
of  the  World  War  shall  be  exempt  from  fees  to  the  amount  of  $20  per 
year,  said  amount  to  be  divided  as  follows :  $6.00  incidental  and  janitor 
fee  for  the  Fall  quarter;  $6.00  incidental  and  janitor  fee  and  $1.00  gen- 
eral physical  training  fee  for  the  Winter  and  for  the  Spring  quarters. 
Students  claiming  this  exemption  shall  show  their  discharge  papers  at  the 
Treasurer's  office  when  they  enter  college. 

Board  and  Room:  All  men  students  can  secure  furnished  rooms  and 
board  in  clubs  or  private  families  adjacent  to  the  college  grounds  at  $6.00 
per  week.  In  order  that  undesirable  rooms  and  houses  may  be  avoided, 
young  men  students  should  consult  the  Secretary  of  the  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association,  Alumni  Hall,  Ames,  Iowa.  For  sanitary  or  other 
reasons  the  college  authorities  reserve  the  right  to  forbid  students  from 
rooming  in  any  particular  house. 

For  the  information  of  students,  clubs,  and  interested  private  families 
the  Committee  on  Student  Accommodations  has  prepared  standard  regu- 
lations to  assist  in  the  management  of  houses  which  furnish  rooms  or 
board  to  students.  These  regulations  are  for  the  use  of  members  of  the 
instructional  and  clerical  staffs  and  other  members  of  the  college  com- 
munity when  reference  to  standard  practice  is  desirable.  Houses  accom- 
modating both  students  and  others  who  are  not  students  are  expected  to 
observe  regulations  for  houses  accommodating  students.  Copies  of  these 
regulations  may  be  secured  from  the  President's  office,  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Secretary,  or  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Student  Accommodations. 

Text  Books:  All  text  books  and  stationery  may  be  purchased  at  the 
College  Book  Store  at  about  20  per  cent  below  the  average  retail  price. 

Note:  Prospective  Freshmen  should  carefully  consider  the  cost  of  the 
first  year.  No  one  should  think  of  entering  college  unless  he  has  money 
enough  in  his  own  right  or  from  friends  to  meet  his  expenses  in  large  part 
•  for  his  Freshman  year.  If  he  goes  out  of  his  Freshman  year  in  debt  he  is 
quite  sure  to  be  seriously  embarrassed  for  the  remainder  of  his  college 
course.  Provision  hould  be  made  to  meet  college  bills  with  the  same 
business-like  promptness  with  which  one  expects  to  meet  other  bills. 

Freshman   Expenses 

Taking  into  consideration  the  items  named  under  Fees  and  Expenses, 
the  following  is  an  approximate  estimate  of  the  expenses  of  a  Freshman 
for  each  of  three  quarters  of  the  college  year: 


14  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

Minimum  Maximum 

Amount  Amount 

Board    (12  weeks) $60.00  $72.00 

Room  rent  (12  weeks — 2  in  a  room) 24.00  45.00 

Laundry    6.00  8.50 

Incidental  and  Janitor  Fee. 6.00  8.00 

Laboratory    Fees 10.00  17.00 

Books  and  Equipment 13.00  30.00 

For  engineering  students,  the  minimum  estimate  should  be  increased 
fifteen  dollars,  under  Books  and  Equipment,  for  drawing  instruments  and 
material. 

All  men  pay  a  general  Physical  Training  fee  of  $1.00  per  quarter. 

Members  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  will  have  their  uniforms  furnished  by  the 
government.  All  other  students  will  receive  information  as  to  prices  from 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  Military  department. 

In  addition  to  these  items,  at  the  beginning  of  the  Freshman  year  each 
man  student  will  be  required  to  purchase  a  gymnasium  suit  for  $5.00; 
and  each  woman  student  a  gymnasium  suit  for  $7.50. 

The  student  is  also  advised  to  purchase  a  student's  activity  ticket  and 
to  pay  class  dues. 

The  military  and  gymnasium  suits  and  drawing  equipment  will  be  ser- 
viceable for  the  entire  course. 

If  a  student  is  non-resident  of  the  state,  $17.00  per  quarter  should  be 
added  for  tuition. 

The  incidental  and  janitor  fee,  laboratory  fees,  books  and  equipment, 
gymnasium  outfit,  and  some  payment  toward  room  rent  and  board  are 
required  in  advance. 


Classification  and  Standing 

Junior  and  Senior  College:  The  students  are  classified  in  junior  and 
Senior  colleges.  The  Junior  college  is  composed  of  all  students  in  the 
Freshman  and  Sophomore  years ;  the  Senior  college,  of  all  students  in  the 
Junior  and  Senior  years. 

Amount  of  Work:  The  amount  of  work  in  each  course  is  expressed 
in  credits,  a  credit  meaning  one  recitation  a  week,  or  its  equivalent, 
throughout  the  quarter.  It  is  considered  that  a  one-hour  recitation  or 
lecture  will  require  as  much  time  including  preparation  as  a  three-hour 
laboratory,  and  therefore  it  is  given  the  same  credit.  Any  two-hour 
laboratory  period  is  equivalent  to  two-thirds  of  a  three-hour  laboratry.- 

Number  of  Credits:  No  student  shall  be  allowed  to  classify  in  more 
credits  than  are  specified  in  the  catalogue  for  the  quarter  of  the  course 
taken,  unless  he  has  an  exceptionally  high  record  in  his  previous  college 
work,  and  then  only  after  consent  is  secured  from  the  classifying  Dean 
and  the  Head  of  the  Department  concerned.  The  student  will  be  allowed 
to  drop  such  extra  work  only  upon  permission  of  the  classifying  Dean ;  he 
will  be  required  to  drop  it  in  case  this  or  any  other  work  in  his  schedule 
is  being  carried  unsatisfactorily.  A  "condition"  or  a  "not  pass"  secured  in 
such  extra  work  shall  stand  as  a  record,  and  shall  be  considered  in  choos- 
ing fraternity  members,  but  an  elective  shall  not  be  held  against  the  stu- 
dent for  graduation. 

In  general,  students  failing  in  any  portion  of  a  quarter's  work  will  not 
be  allowed  to  take  full  classification  for  the  next  quarter. 

Classification:  No  student  shall  be  admitted  to  any  class  or  dropped 
from  it,  except  by  authority  of  the  classifying  officer. 

Conflicts:  Students  shall  not  classify  in  conflicting  studies  without  the 
approval  of  the  classifying  officer. 

Standings:  All  the  standings  are  based  on  the  scale  of  100.  The 
passing  grade  is  75.  A  student  receiving  from  60  to  74  per  cent  inclusive 
in  any  course  is  conditioned,  and  allowed  to  make  up  the  condition  under 
the  direction  of  the  head  of  the  department. 

Back  Studies:  Students  shall  be  classified  in  back  studies  in  all  cases 
in  which  such  studies  are  taught,  subject  to  the  first  rule  under  Number 
of  Credits.  Any  exception  to  this  rule  must  be  for  good  and  sufficient 
reason,  approved  by  the  President  of  the  College  and  the  Dean. 

Changing  Course :  A  student  will  not  be  permitted  to  change  from  one 
course  to  another  who  has  a  "condition"  or  "not  pass"  in  a  subject  not 
common  to  the  two  courses ;  or  if  he  has  more  than  one  "condition"  or 
"not  pass"  in  subjects  common  to  the  two  courses. 

Senior  Year:  No  student  shall  be  considered  a  candidate  for  gradua- 
tion who  at  the  beginning  of  the  Spring  quarter  of  the  Senior  year  has 
more  than  twenty  hours  of  work  to  complete  his  course  of  study.  If  the 
uncompleted  work  is  not  offered  in  the  Spring  quarter,  it  shall  be  passed 
and  reported  to  the  Recorder  not  later  than  April  1st. 


Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine 

Dean  Stange,  Veterinary  Building 
Vice-Dean  Bemis,  Veterinary  Building 

The  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  offers  the  following  courses : 

Four-Year  Course:     Veterinary  Medicine p.  17 

Six-Year  Course:     Animal  Husbandry  and  Veterinary  Medicine p.   20 

Six- Year  Course:     Science  and  Veterinary  Medicine p.  18 

The  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  offers  a  four-year  course  leading 
to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine,  and  combined  six-year 
courses  with  either  the  Division  of  Industrial  Science  or  the  Department 
of  Animal  Husbandry,  and  leading  to  both  B.  Sc.  and  D.  V.  M.  degrees. 
The  Veterinary  Division  consists  of  five  educational  departments,  the  head 
of  each  department  being  a  man  of  broa'd  experience  in  the  particular 
branches  of  medical  science  which  the  department  represents. 

The  following  departments  are  included  in  the  Division : 

Department  of  Anatomy p.   20 

Department  of  Pathology  and  Bacteriology p.   22 

Department  of  Physiology  and  Pharmacology p.   23: 

Department  of  Surgery   p.  24 

Department  of  Medicine p.   21 

The  faculty  of  the  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  consists  of  the 
Dean  of  the  Division,  together  with  the  professors  at  the  head  of  depart- 
ments, the  associate  and  assistant  professors  in  the  departments,  and  in- 
structors. Representatives  (to  the  number  indicated)  of  the  following 
departments  outside  of  the  Veterinary  Division,  in  which  the  veterinary 
students  do  a  part  of  their  work,  are  considered  members  of  the  Veteri- 
nary faculty:  Chemistry  (1),  Botany  (1),  Animal  Husbandry  (1),  Dairy 
(1),  English  and  Economic  Science  (1),  and  Zoology  (1). 

Aside  from  the  strictly  educational  departments  in  the  Division,  there 
is  also  the  Department  of  Research  in  Animal  Diseases  which  gives  the 
student  rare  opportunity  to  .observe  that  phase  of  veterinary  science  in 
which  this  department  is  engaged. 

Aside  from  the  facilities  which  belong  especially  to  the  Veterinary 
Division,  the  equipment  for  instruction  in  animal  husbandry,  consisting 
of  large  flocks  and  herds  of  carefully  selected  breeds  of  live  stock,  helps 
to  render  practical  instruction  very  efficient.  The  most  perfect  types  of 
the  different  breeds  are  used  -for  class  work.  In  this  way  the  work  in 
veterinary  medicine  is  linked  with  that  in  agriculture,  an  arrangement 
which  proves  to  be  of  inestimable  value  to  veterinarians.  The  fact  that 
the  College  is  located  in  the  richest  live  stock  country  in  the  world  pro- 
vides a  rare  opportunity  for  the  veterinary  student  to  study  this  phase  of 
animal  industry;  it  also  enables  him  to  observe  a  wealth  of  clinical  cases 
both  at  the  College  Hospital,  and  under  general  practice  conditions  by 
means  of  the  Ambulatory  Clinic. 

Work  in  Botany,  Chemistry,  Zoology,  and  other  related  sciences  is 
adequately  provided  for  in  the  special  buildings  for  the  accommodation 
of  these  several  departments  of  college  work.  Each  branch  of  study  is 
presented  to  the  student  by  a  specialist. 

Candidates  for  graduation  must  be  twenty-one  years  of  age,  of  good 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  17 

character,  and  must  have  passed  examinations  in  all  the  required  subjects 
in  the  course,  to  secure  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine. 

The  following  are  a  few  of  the  many  openings  available  to  graduates: 

General  Practice:  In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  national  live  stock 
valuation  is  estimated  at  $5,008,  327,  000,  it  becomes  obvious  that  the  gradu- 
ate possessing  fitness  and  aptitude  for  live  stock  work  will  meet  with  a 
ready  demand  and  receive  substantial  compensation  for  his  services. 

Bureau  of  Animal  Industry:  Veterinarians  are  in  demand  for  in- 
spection work  in  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture,  at  substantial  salaries. 

Army  Veterinary  Service:  Excellent  opportunities  are  now  offered 
to  young  veterinarians  in  the  United  States  Army.  The  Army  Veterinary 
Corps  is  organized  as  a  part  of  the  Medical  Department  of  the  Army,  and 
army  veterinarians  receive  the  rank,  pay,  and  allowances  of  commissioned 
army  officers,  entering  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant  at  $1,700  per  year,  with 
excellent  opportunity  for  advancement  in  rank,  with  corresponding  in- 
creases in  salary  and  allowances.  These  positions  are  very  desirable,  and 
include  a  wide  range  of  professional  work. 

Municipal  and  State  Work:  Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  larger  cities 
are  rapidly  inaugurating  systems  of  milk  and  meat  inspection,  there  is  an 
increasing  demand  for  competent  veterinarians  drilled  in  bacteriology  and 
pathology.  A  large  number  of  State  positions  are  also  open,  on  account 
of  the  rigid  laws  governing  inter-state  shipment  of  live  stock  which  are 
being  enacted  by  the  various  states. 

Sanitation:  The  value  of  the  educated  veterinarian  as  a  sanitarian  is 
being  recognized  and  positions  are  open  in  this  field. 

Education  and  Research:  The  demand  for  men  capable  of  doing  in- 
vestigation work  in  animal  diseases,  associated  work  in  connection  with 
State  Experiment  Stations,  and  of  filling  various  teaching  positions  in 
agricultural  and  veterinary  colleges,  has  been  greater  than  the  supply. 

Commercial  Work:  The  lines  of  commercial  work  which  demand 
trained  veterinarians  are  increasing  yearly.  These  include  positions  with 
railway  companies,  live  stock  concerns,  in  biological  laboratories,  pharma- 
ceutical houses,  etc.  The  demand  for  qualified  veterinarians  exceeds  the 
supply,  and  many  graduates  go  directly  from  college  to  positions  paying 
$150  per  month  and  upward.

Course  in  Industrial  Science  and  Veterinary   Medicine   (six  years) 

Leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  and  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Veterinary  Medicine. 

The  following  course  is  designed  to  meet  the  need  of  those  students 
who  wish  to  secure  a  thorough  foundation  in  the  biological  and  chemical 
sciences  preliminary  to  the  studying  of  veterinary  medicine.     The  degree 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE 


19 


of  Bachelor  of  Science  is  granted  at  the  end  of  the  fourth  year,  and  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine  upon  the  completion  of  the  sixth 
year.  The  increased  time  at  the  disposal  of  the  student  gives  an  oppor- 
tunity to  prepare  himself  efficiently  for  investigational  work. 

At  the  present  time  the  better  colleges  granting  degrees  in  human  medi- 
cine require  two  years  of  collegiate  preparation.  Veterinary  Medicine  is 
quite  as  exacting  in  its  requirements  of  students,  particularly  those  who 
wish  to  go  into  governmental  or  research  work.  The  opportunities  open 
to  students  well  grounded  both  in  science  and  in  veterinary  medicine  are 
excellent.  Many  positions  in  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  of  the  De- 
partment of  Agriculture,  in  the  experiment  stations  of  our  land  grant  col- 
leges, and  in  the  teaching  staffs  of  our  various  veterinary  schools  and 
agricultural  colleges,  are  opened  every  year.  It  has  been  in  the  past  prac- 
tically impossible  to  secure  men  with  the  right  training.  This  course  is 
designed  to  train  men  for  such  positions.

The  student  will  classify  with  the  Dean  of  Veterinary  Medicine  as  a 
Senior  college  student  in  Veterinary  Medicine.  He  shall  outline  his  course 
in  conformity  with  the  following  requirements : 

1.  A  minimum  of  18  hours  per  quarter  shall  be  carried. 

2.  All  subjects  of  the  Junior  and  Senior  years  of  the  four-year  course 
in  Veterinary  Medicine  shall  be  completed. 

3.  Free  electives  shall  be  chosen  to  fill  the  number  of  credit  hours  to 
the  required  18. 

The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine  will  be  conferred  upon  the 
fulfillment  of  the  preceding  requirements. 

Course   in  Animal  Husbandry  and  Veterinary  Medicine 

On  account  of  the  demand  for  a  course  offering  degrees  in  both  Animal 
Husbandry  and  Veterinary  Medicine,  a  combined  course  has  been  outlined 
so  that  the  student  pursuing  this  course  may  receive  both  degrees  in  six 
years. 

Short  Course  for  Practitioners  in  Veterinary  Medicine 

It  is  proposed  to  arrange  the  course  so  that  practitioners  may  spend  a 
few  days  at  Ames  and  get  the  latest  and  best  that  is  being  made  available 
in  any  state  or  country. 

Definition  of  a  Credit:  The  amount  of  work  in  each  study  is  ex- 
pressed in  credits,  a  credit  meaning  one  recitation  or  its  equivalent  a  week 
throughout  the  quarter.  It  is  considered  that  a  one-hour  recitation  or 
lecture  will  require  as  much  time  including  preparation  as  a  three-hour 
laboratory,  and  therefore  should  be  given  the  same  credit.  Any  two-hour 
laboratory  period  is  equivalent  to  two-thirds  of  a  three-hour  laboratory. 

Study  Numbers:  In  each  department  the  studies,  for  convenience  of 
reference,  are  given  in  numerical  order.

The  Department  of  Anatomy  gives  instruction  in  anatomy  to  students  in 
either  Veterinary  Medicine  or  Animal  Husbandry.  The  laboratories  are 
well  equipped.  In  histology  and  osteology  each  student  is  assigned  an  indi- 
vidual desk  provided  with  a  microscope,  100  permanent  mounts  of  tissue, 
laboratory  notes,  and  one-half  skeleton  of  disarticulated  bones  of  the  horse 
The  dissecting  room  is  modern,  sanitary,  and  well  equipped.  All  cadavers 
are  preserved.  Students  in  Animal  Husbandry  prepare  for  their  work  ir 
nutrition  and  stock  judging.  Veterinary  students  should  have  a  detailec 
knowledge  of  the  structure  of  the  domestic  animals  and  birds  to  under 
stand  properly  Physiology,  Pathology,  Diagnosis,  Surgery,  and  Medicine. 

The  following  methods  are  used  in  teaching  anatomy:  didactic  instruc

tion,  quiz,  specimen  demonstration,  specimen  study,  lantern  slide  demon- 
strations, dissection,  sketching,  the  use  of  the  living  horse  for  palpating 
and  outlining  the  structures.  A  large  and  well  selected  number  of  speci- 
mens and  lantern  slides  is  used  in  the  class  and  laboratory  demonstrations 
to  emphasize  the  most  important  structures  and  their  relations  from  a 
clinical  standpoint.  These  are  also  available  for  student  use.  In  the  lab- 
oratory special  attention  is  given  to  fascial  compartments,  joint  pouchings, 
vaginal  sheaths,  bursae,  and  topography.  Class  work  in  splanchnology  also 
covers  the  microscopic  anatomy. 

The  class  work  is  mostly  quizzes,  with  supplemental  statements  and 
demonstrations  by  the  instructors  to  fix  the  knowledge  of  the  structures 
of  the  animal  body  gained  in  the  laboratory  by  the  student.

The  study  of  medicine  summarizes  and  shows  the  application  in  practice 
of  the  training  previously  received  in  Anatomy,  Physiology,  Pathology, 
Bacteriology,  and  Therapeutics.  The  work  is  given  in  the  form  of 
lectures  and  clinical  demonstrations  and  extends  throughout  the  Junior 
and  Senior  years.  Diagnostic  methods  employed  in  the  detection  of  animal 
diseases  are  carried  out  by  each  student  on  the  various  organs  and  systems 
of  the  different  species  of  animals.  The  surrounding  community  furnishes 
an  abundance  of  material  for  such  work.  When  cases  cannot  be  brought 
to  the  hospital,  students  are  taken  to  the  farms  and  given  actual  practice 
in  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  the  cases  under  the  direct  supervision  of 


22  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

an  experienced  member  of  the  faculty.  The  latter  arrangement  provides  a 
large  variety  of  cases  and  gives  opportunity  to  observe  both  healthy  and 
diseased  animals  under  natural  farm  conditions  and  the  student  is  taught 
how  to  overcome  difficulties  frequently  met  with  on  farms  where  facilities 
are  restricted. 

Infectious  diseases  are  considered  in  detail,  diagnosis  and  methods  of 
control  being  especially  emphasized. 

General  sanitation  and  hygiene  are  taken  up  with  special  reference  to 
the  most  practical  means  of  keeping  animals  in  health  and  preventing  dis- 
eases. 

On  completion  of  the  Senior  year  the  student  has  not  only  the  theo- 
retical knowledge,  but  some  of  the  most  practical  methods  of  applying  such 
knowledge.  The  transition  from  the  student  to  the  practitioner  presents 
little  difficulty  after  such  training.

The  Department  of  Veterinary  Pathology  and  Bacteriology  occupies  the 
northeast  building  of  the  veterinary  group.  Two  offices  open  directly  into 
a  private  laboratory  that  is  used  by  those  in  charge  to  investigate  problems 
pertaining  to  their  lines  of  work.  A  large  general  student  laboratory 
facing  the  north,  east,  and  west  is  well  lighted  and  supplied  with  individual 
equipment  for  a  section  of  thirty  students.  A  pathology  preparation  room, 
a  bacteriology  preparation  room  and  room-incubator  open  into  the  main 
laboratory.  A  class  lecture  room  to  accomodate  fifty  students  is  equipped 
with  a  combination  lantern-slide,  microscopic  projection,  and  photomicro- 
graphic  machine.  In  the  basement  are  six  rooms  for  the  housing  of  small 
experimental  animals,  for  the  preparation  and  mounting  of  museum  speci- 
mens, and  for  storage  of  supplies,  and  a  large  storage  room  for  museum 
specimens  used  by  the  department. 

The  work  of  the  department  consists  of  a  systematic  study  of  the 
causes  of  disease  and  the  manner  in  which  these  causes  bring  about  altera- 
tions in  the  anatomical  structure  and  chemical  and  physiological  activities 
of  animal  tissues.  The  application  of  this  studv  renders  diagnosis  more 
accurate  and  forms  the  foundation  for  rational  therapeutics.

The  southeast  building  of  the  Veterinary  group  is  devoted  to  work  in 
Physiology,  Pharmacy,  Materia  Medica,  and  Therapeutics.  This  building 
was  planned  for  the  investigation  and  teaching  of  physiological  -and  phar- 
macological subjects,  and  is  admirably  arranged  and  equipped  for  the 
pursuance  of  general  or  research  work  along  these  lines. 

In  the  general  laboratories,  students  are  provided  with  individual  equip- 
ment as  far  as  possible,  and  thus  self-reliance  and  individual  responsibility 
are  developed.  The  laboratories  have  been  newly  equipped  and  are  thor- 
oughly up-to-date.  The  latest  apparatus  for  practical  physiological,  phar- 
macological, or  pharmaceutical  demonstration  and  laboratory  work  is 
available. 

Before  attempting  a  proper  conception  of  diseased  conditions  it  is 
necessary  to  have  an  understanding  of  the  normal  functions  of  the  body 
structures.  The  purpose  of  the  work  in  Physiology  is  to  make  a  detailed 
study  of  the  normal  functions  and  activities  of  the  cells,  tissues,  organs, 
and  systems  constituting  the  animal  body.  The  work  is  presented  in  the 
form  of  lectures,  recitations,  demonstrations,  and  practical  laboratory 
work  in  which  the  chemical  and  physical  processes  of  the  animal  body  are 


24  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

considered  in  logical  order.  The  lecture  work  is  supplemented  by  the  use 
of  dissected  specimens,  practical  demonstrations,  and  drawings.  The 
laboratory  work  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  respiratory,  circulatory,, 
muscular,  and  nervous  systems ;  also  digestion  and  absorption,  and  the 
circulating  fluids  of  the  body. 

As  Pharmacy  and  Materia  Medica  are  prerequisite  to  Therapeutics, 
these  subjects  are  considered  in  the  order  named;  the  work  is  presented 
as  lectures,  recitations,  laboratory,  and  demonstration  work.

The  Department  of  Surgery  is  especially  well  equipped  for  its  teaching. 
The  hospital  is  160  feet  long  by  60  feet  wade,  has  a  stall  capacity  for  42 
large  animals,  22  dogs,  and  other  small  animals,  and  contains  three  operat- 
ing rooms.  The  largest,  65  by  30  feet,  is  used  for  examining  animals  as 
they  are  admitted,  and  for  minor  operations  and  treatment.  Joining  it  is 
a  clinical  amphitheatre ;  next  to  this  is  the  third  operating  room  for  large 
animals,  equipped  with  a  hydraulic  operating  table,  X-ray  apparatus,  and 
other  conveniences.  Between  the  operating  room  and  clinic  room  is  a  dis- 
pensary and  instrument  room.  On  the  upper  floor,  near  the  kennels,  is  a 
small  animal  operating  room  equipped  with  w-hite  enamel  furniture;  also 
operating  instruments  and  modern  steam  sterilizers  for  water,  instruments, 
and  dressings.

DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  25 

During  the  school  year  more  than  eight  thousand  cases,  including  a 
wide  range  of  surgical  conditions,  are  operated  upon  and  treated  in  the 
clinics,  each  case  being  assigned  to  a  Senior  student  with  one  or  more 
Junior  assistants.  All  operations  are  performed  by  the  professors  in 
charge,  and  the  after  treatment  is  always  under  their  direction,  the  idea 
being  that  the  clinical  cases  are  in  no  way  experimental,  but  that  they  shall 
be  treated  as  similar  cases  are  to  be  treated  later  in  practice. 

All  the  class  room  work  in  surgery  is  conducted  in  the  amphitheatre  in 
the  hospital  building,  where  animals  affected  with  conditions  under  discus- 
sion as  well  as  instruments  and  apparatus  to  be  used  in  diagnosis,  treat- 
ment, or  restraint,  can  be  brought  before  the  class.  Clinic  cases  are 
constantly  used  to  correlate  the  theoretical  and  the  practical.

The  department  is  being  supported  by  special  appropriations  made  by 
the  legislature,  and  laboratories  and  experimental  animal  rooms  are 
equipped  for  this  special  work.  There  are  but  few  animal  diseases 
entirely  understood,  and  many  are  understood  in  no  particular.  It  is  the 
object  of  this  department  to  investigate  such  diseases  with  the  view  of 
working  out  some  method  by  which  they  can  be  controlled  or  eradicated. 

One  feature  of  the  work  of  this  department  is  the  diagnosis  of  disease 
by  laboratory  methods  and  examination  of  tissues.  Veterinarians  and 
livestock  owners  are  encouraged  to   send  to   the   laboratory  tissues   and 


26  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

materials  from  doubtful  cases.  Careful  and  painstaking  examination  of 
these  is  made,  and  animal  inoculations  are  carried  out  for  those  cases 
which  promise  something  new  or  rare.  Reports  of  such  examinations  are 
submitted  to  the  sender,  and  his  cooperation  is  solicited  in  working  out 
the  cases.  Accurate  records  of  such  work  are  kept  on  file  in  the  labora- 
tory and  are  available  to  members  of  the  Veterinary  Division  at  all  times 
for  their  study  and  use.  Thus  the  work  of  the  department  supports  the 
instruction  work  and  assists  in  keeping  such  instruction  modern. 

VETERINARY   MEDICAL   SOCIETY 

The  Veterinary  Medical  Society  is  an  organization  of  veterinary  stu- 
dents. Two  meetings  are  held  each  month  and  topics  relating  to  veter- 
inary medicine  are  discussed.  All  veterinary  students  become  members 
and  much  benefit  is  derived  along  literary,  social  and  professional  lines.

General  Information 


ADMINISTRATION 

The  laws  of  the  United  States  and  State  of  Iowa  provide  for  the  scope 
and  the  management  of  the  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic 
Arts.  It  is  under  the  State  Board  of  Education,  which  consists  of  nine 
men  nominated  by  the  Governor  and  confirmed  by  the  Senate.  This 
Board  appoints  a  finance  committee  consisting  of  three  men  who  give 
their  entire  time  to  the  management  of  the  four  state  educational  institu- 
tions of  Iowa,  of  which  the  Board  is  in  charge,  under  provision  of  the 
law  and  such  rules  and  regulations  as  the  State  Board  of  Education  may 
prescribe. 

GOVERNMENT 

The  character  of  the  College  buildings  and  the  nature  of  the  work 
make  order,  punctuality,  and  systematic  effort  indispensable.  The  insti- 
tution offers  no  inducement  to  the  idler  or  the  self-indulgent.  All  who  are 
too  independent  to  submit  to  needful  authority,  too  reckless  to  accept 
wholesome  restraint,  or  too  careless  to  take  advantage  of  their  opportuni- 
ties, are  advised  not  to  come.  The  discipline  of  the  College  is  confined 
mainly  to  sending  away  those  who  prove,  on  fair  trial,  to  be  of  this  class. 
The  final  decision  of  all  cases  of  discipline  rests  with  the  President  of  the 
College  except  when  he  delegates  such  power  in  particular  cases  to  the 
deans  or  to  some  one  of  the  standing  committees  of  the  faculty.  A  student 
senate  has  been  organized  to  make  recommendations  to  the  President. 

HISTORY 

An  act  establishing  "A  State  Agricultural  College  and  Model  Farm"  to 
be  connected  with  the  entire  agricultural  interests  of  the  state  was  passed 
by  the  legislature  of  Iowa  in  1858.  This  legislature  also  appointed  a  board 
of  commissioners  to  buy  a  farm  and  erect  a  college  building,  and  selected 
a  board  of  trustees  to  secure  a  faculty  and  organize  a  college.  In  1859  a 
farm  of  six  hundred  and  forty  acres  situated  near  Ames  was  purchased. 

In  1862  Congress  enacted,  and  President  Lincoln  signed,  a  bill  entitled, 
"An  act  donating  public  lands  to  the  several  States  and  Territories,  which 
may  provide  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic 
Arts." 

Section  1  of  this  act  provides  that  for  the  support  of  such  colleges 
there  be  granted  "an  amount  of  public  land,  to  be  apportioned  to  each 
State  in  quantity  equal  to  thirty  thousand  acres  for  each  Senator  and 
Representative  in  Congress  to  which  the  States  are  respectively  entitled 
by  the  apportionment  under  the  census  of  1860." 

Section  4  requires :  "That  all  moneys  derived  from  the  sale  of  land  shall 
constitute  a  perpetual  fund,  the  capital  of  which  shall  remain  forever  un- 
diminished, and  the  interest  of  which  shall  inviolably  be  apportioned  by 
each  State  which  may  take  and  claim  the  benefit  of  this  act,  to  the  endow- 
ment, support,  and  maintenance  of  at  least  one  college,  where  the  leading 
object  shall  be,  without  excluding  other  scientific  and  classical  studies,  and 
including  military  tactics,  to  teach  such  branches  of  learning  as  are  related 


30  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  in  such  manner  as  the  Legislature 
of  the  State  may  provide,  in  order  to  promote  the  liberal  and  practical 
education  of  the  industrial  classes  in  the  several  pursuits  and  professions 
of  life." 

The  General  Assembly  of  Iowa,  September  11,  1862,  accepted  the  grant 
upon  the  conditions  and  under  the  restrictions  contained  in  the  act  of 
Congress,  and  by  so  doing  entered  into  contract  with  the  General  Gov- 
ernment to  erect  and  keep  in  repair  all  buildings  necessary  for  the  use  of 
the  College.  By  action  of  the  General  Assembly  the  College  was  changed 
from  an  agricultural  institution  into  a  College  of  Agriculture  and  Me- 
chanic Arts  with  the  broad  and  liberal  course  of  study  outlined  in  the 
following  paragraph.  The  College  was  formally  opened  on  the  seven- 
teenth day  of  March,  1869. 

In  1884  the  General  Assembly  passed  an  act  defining  the  course  of  study 
to  be  pursued  as  follows:  "Section  1.  That  Section  1621  of  the  Code  is 
hereby  repealed  and  the  following  is  enacted  in  lieu  thereof  :  'Section  1621. 
There  shall  be  adopted  and  taught  in  the  State  Agricultural  College,  a 
broad,  liberal  and  practical  course  of  study,  in  which  the  leading  branches 
of  learning  shall  relate  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts  and  which 
shall  also  embrace  such  other  branches  of  learning  as  will  most  practically 
and  liberally  educate  the  agricultural  and  industrial  classes  in  the  several 
pursuits  and  professions  of  life,  including  military  tactics.  Section  2. 
That  all  acts  and  parts  of  acts  inconsistent  with  this  act  are  hereby  re- 
pealed.' " 

August  thirtieth  the  following  act  was  approved  by  President  Harrison : 
"Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United 
States  in  Congress  assembled,  that  there  shall  be  and  hereby  is,  annually 
appropriated,  out  of  any  moneys  in  the  treasury  not  otherwise  appropri- 
ated, arising  from  the  sales  of  public  lands,  to  be  paid,  as  hereinafter 
provided,  to  each  State  and  Territory  for  the  more  complete  endowment 
and  maintenance  of  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  agriculture  and  the  me- 
chanic arts  now  established,  or  which  may  hereafter  be  established,  in 
accordance  with  an  act  of  Congress  approved  July  second,  eighteen  hun- 
dred and  sixty-two,  the  sum  of  fifteen  thousand  dollars  for  the  year  end- 
ing June  thirtieth,  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety,  and  an  annual  increase  of 
the  amount  of  such  appropriation  thereafter  for  ten  years  by  an  additional 
sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  over  the  preceding  year,  and  the  annual 
amount  to  be  paid  thereafter  to  each  State  and  Territory  shall  be  twenty- 
five  thousand  dollars,  to  be  applied  only  to  instruction  in  agriculture,  the 
mechanic  arts,  the  English  language  and  the  various  branches  of  math- 
ematical, physical,  natural  and  economic  sciences,  with  especial  reference 
to  their  application  in  the  industries  of  life,  and  to  facilities  for  such  in- 
struction." 

The  income  of  the  College  from  national  and  state  sources  is  therefore 
expended  in  instruction,  experimentation,  and  illustration  in  agriculture 
and  in  the  mechanic  arts,  and  in  the  underlying  and  related  sciences  and 
literature.  All  buildings  are  erected  and  all  repairs  thereon  are  made  by 
the  State  of  Iowa. 

The  college  property  is  valued  at  $4,546,918.86. 

LOCATION 

The  College  occupies  a  delightful  and  healthful  location  upon  high, 
rolling  land  in  the  west  part  of  Ames,  Story  County.  Situated  at  the 
junction  of  the  north  and  south  branch  and  the  main  double-track  line  of 
the  Chicago  &  Northwestern  Railroad,  and  connected  with  all  the  trunk 
lines  of  Iowa,  Ames  is  easily  accessible  from  all  parts  of  the  state.  An 
electric  railway  connects  Ames  and  the  College.  The  Fort  Dodge,  Des 
Moines  and    Southern  Railway    (electric),   with   stations   on   the    campus, 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  31 

gives  efficient  service  at  the  College  and  connections  with  the  following 
trunk  lines:  At  Fort  Dodge,  with  the  Illinois  Central  and  Chicago  Great 
Western ;  at  Huxley,  with  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul ;  at  Des 
Moines  with  the  Chicago,  Rock  Island  &  Pacific,  the  Chicago  Great  West- 
ern, and  the  Chicago,  Burlington  &  Quincy. 

Ames  is  a  most  desirable  town  for  wholesome  college  influences.  Its 
people  are  thrifty,  enterprising,  and  cordial.  The  town  has  an  excellent 
system  of  public  schools,  numerous  churches,  waterworks,  and  electric 
lights,  and  it  also  has  a  good  city  government.  It  is  an  inviting  commu- 
nity for  families  who  wish  to  educate  their  children  and  enjoy  a  good 
environment  at  a  reasonable  expense.  Ames  and  the  College  are  on  very 
cordial  terms,  and  its  citizens  seek  to  promote  the  efforts  of  the  students 
and  the  highest  interests  of  the  College. 

GROUNDS 

Of  the  entire  College  domain  of  1,355  acres,  125  acres  are  set  apart  for 
College  grounds.  These  include  the  experimental  plots,  the  young  for- 
estry plantations,  the  surroundings  of  professors'  dwellings,  and  the  cen- 
tral campus  with  its  beautiful  walks  and  drives,  its  trees,  shrubbery,  and 
flower  gardens,  and  its  large  and  stately  buildings.  The  true  principles  of 
landscape  gardening  have  been  so  faithfully  observed  in  the  gardening 
and  in  the  location  of  buildings  and  drives  as  to  make  the  entire  campus 
a  large  and  beautiful  park. 

BUILDINGS 

Fifty-five  commodious  buildings  besides  the  dwellings  houses  and  the 
buildings  for  farm  stock,  machinery,  and  work,  have  been  erected  by  the 
State  for  the  exclusive  use  of  the  various  departments  of  the  College. 
All  of  these  buildings  are  heated  by  steam,  lighted  by  electricity,  and  sup- 
plied with  pure  water. 

The  map  in  the  front  of  this  catalog  gives  a  list  of  the  buildings  and 
their  location  on  the  campus. 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  property,  including  the  buildings 
belonging  to  the  College :

EMPLOYMENT   FOR   STUDENTS 

Although  this  institution  is  not  situated  in  a  large  center  where  there  is 
an  unlimited  amount  of  employment  for  students,  yet  there  are  a  large 


32  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

number  who  can  earn  a  part  of  their  expenses  here  at  College.  Very  few 
are  able  to  make  all  their  expenses,  and  no  young  man  should  come  ex- 
pecting to  do  this  unless  he  has  made  definite  arrangements  previous  to 
his  coming. 

The  work  available  for  students  consists  of  employment  in  the  various 
departments,  such  as  office  work,  caring  for  stock,  helping  in  dairy,  green 
houses,  orchards,  shops,  or  janitor  work  about  the  buildings.  Consider- 
able work  for  students  is  also  obtained  in  the  business  houses  and  homes 
of  Ames ;  a  limited  number  find  employment  in  student  clubs  and  in  the 
cafeteria. 

The  Employment  Bureaus  are  managed  as  follows  :  For  men,  by  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association.  Regular  work  for  women,  Miss 
Harwood,  Adviser  to  women;  odd  hour  jobs  for  women,  the  Young 
Women's  Christian  Association.  The  heads  of  various  departments  are 
able  to  secure  employment  for  large  numbers  of  students  during  the  sum- 
mer vacation.  Such  positions  give  the  students  practical  work  that  is 
closely  related  to  the  instruction  given  in  college,  and  thereby  strengthen 
them  for  service  after  graduation. 

During  the  present  year  several  hundred  students  have  found  work 
through  the  Association  Employment  Bureaus.  It  is  suggested  that,  on 
account  of  the  heavy  laboratory  work  required  in  the  courses  here,  stu- 
dents should  not  come  expecting  to  put  in  too  much  time  in  labor.  Facts 
regarding  opportunity  for  work  at  the  College  can  be  had  by  writing 
Secretary,  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  or  Secretary,  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  or  Miss  Hazel  Har- 
wood. 

Manual  Labor 

The  following  regulations  in  regard  to  manual  labor  have  been  adopted 
by  the  Board  of  Education : 

1.  The  manual  labor  of  students  is  divided  into  two  kinds :  uninstructive 
labor,  which  shall  be  paid  for  in  money ;  and  instructive  labor,  which  shall 
be  compensated  by  the  instruction  given  and  the  skill  acquired. 

2:  Uninstructive  labor  shall  comprise  all  the  operations  in  the  work- 
shop, the  garden,  upon  the  farm,  and  elsewhere,  in  which  the  work  done 
accrues  to  the  benefit  of  the  College,  and  not  to  that  of  the  student.  In- 
structive labor  shall  embrace  all  those  operations  in  the  workshop,  museum, 
laboratories,  veterinary  hospital,  experimental  kitchen,  gardens,  experi- 
mental stations,  and  on  the  farm, — labor  in  which  the  sole  purpose  is  the 
acquisition  of  knowledge  and  skill. 

3.  Students  shall  engage  in  instructive  labor  in  the  presence  of  the 
professor  in  charge,  and  under  his  instruction  according  to  the  statement 
made  in  each  of  the  courses  of  study. 

The  compensated  labor  furnished  by  the  divisions  of  Agriculture,  of 
Veterinary  Medicine,  and  of  Engineering,  is  given  by  each  to  its  own 
students  and  is  eagerly  sought.  Compensated  labor  is  awarded  to  the  most 
faithful  and  meritorious  students  in  each  department.  This  labor  is  paid 
for  according  to  its  value  to  the  College,  but  no  student  should  expect  to 
pay  the  main  part  of  his  expenses  bv  labor  while  here.  The  College  can- 
not furnish  the  work,  and,  even  if  it  could,  the  student's  time  is  needed 
chiefly  for  study.  Still,  many  worthy  and  industrious  students  pay  a  con- 
siderable part  of  their  expenses  by  labor;  over  $25,000  is  paid  out  by  the 
College  thus  each  year  to  students  and  graduate  assistants. 

HOSPITAL 

Sanitary  conditions  surrounding  the  College  are  excellent.  The  build- 
ings are  situated  on  high  ground  with  good  natural  drainage.  The  water 
supply  is  exceptionally  pure  and  abundant.  The  sewer  system  and  sewage 
disposal  plant  are  the  best  that  modern  sanitary  engineering  can  devise. 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  33 

Nevertheless  in  this,  as  in  other  like  institutions,  where  students  are  drawn 
from  a  wide  territory,  various  diseases  are  brought  by  the  students  them- 
selves. In  order  to  control  epidemics  and  properly  to  care  for  other  cases 
of  illness  or  injury,  a  hospital  is  provided.  A  new  hospital  of  45  beds 
capacity  with  a  large  dispensatory  and  all  modern  conveniences  has  been 
constructed.  In  connection  with  this  is  the  old  hospital  of  18  beds  for 
special  cases.  This  hospital  is  under  the  charge  of  the  College  physician, 
assisted  by  four  registered  nurses,  a  competent  housekeeper  and  helper, 
and  two  student  hospital  assistants. 

The  expenses  of  the  hospital  are  defrayed  from  a  fund  accruing  from 
the  fees  paid  by  students.  The  privileges  of  the  hospital  are  extended  to 
all  students  who  pay  the  full  incidental  fee  of  $6.00  or  more  per  quarter, 
provided  that  the  physician  shall  be  paid  for  calls  at  their  residences.  Per- 
sons not  making  the  deposit  will  be  admitted  to  the  hospital  upon  the  basis 
of  a  charge  of  $21.00  a  week,  within  the  discretion  of  the  College  physi- 
cian. All  students  who  pay  the  full  regular  fees  are  insured  medical 
attendance,  nursing,  and  medicine,  in  illness  or  accident ;  and  consultation 
and  medicine  for  minor  ailments  in  accordance  with  the  regulations  here- 
in published.  The  charges  named  are  based  upon  the  probable  actual  cost 
of  medical  attention  and  hospital  service,  and  the  fund  created  is  care- 
fully devoted  to  these  purposes.  The  College  cannot  assume  any  liability 
beyond  the  extent  of  the  fund  so  created.  The  hospital  has  proved  to  be  a 
great  blessing  to  the  students. 

The  following  regulations  apply  to  the  privileges  of  the  hospital : 

1.  Students  entering  the  hospital  shall  be  charged  $8.50  a  week  ($1.25 
per  day)  for  board,  room,  light  and  heat.  But  for  any  time  in  excess  of 
three  consecutive  weeks  spent  in  the  hospital,  a  charge  shall  be  made  of 
$1.50  per  day. 

2.  In  case  a  special  nurse  or  physician  is  employed,  the  expense  shall  be 
borne  by  the  particular  patient,  the  selection  of  such  nurse  or  physician  to 
be  approved  by  the  President  of  the  College  and  the  College  Physician. 

3.  The  College  assumes  no  responsibility  whatever  in  case  of  smallpox; 
nor  shall  the  privileges  of  the  hospital  be  extended  to  such  cases. 

4.  The  President  and  the  College  physician  may  require  of  students 
entering  the  College  a  certificate  of  a  reputable  physician  showing  success- 
ful vaccination.  On  account  of  prevalence  of  small-pox  in  some  locali- 
ties in  the  United  States,  it  is  strongly  urged  that  all  students  entering 
Iowa  State  College  be  vaccinated  before  leaving  home.  This  is  recom- 
mended in  order  that  valuable  time  may  not  be  lost  during  the  college  year 
by  the  necessity  of  being  vaccinated. 

5.  The  College  physician  is  authorized  to  exclude  from  the  College 
dormitories  and  recitation  rooms  any  person  afflicted  with  a  contagious 
disease. 

ALUMNI    ASSOCIATION 


The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Iowa  State  College  was  organized  in 
1876.  Its  purpose  is  to  promote  the  highest  interest  of  the  institution  and 
to  increase  friendship  and  sympathy  among  students  and  alumni. 

The  present  officers  of  the  association  are : 

Honorary  President,  E.  W.  Stanton,  72,  Ames,  Iowa. 

President,  Roy  F.  O'Donnell,  '08,  Mason  City,  Iowa. 

Vice-President,  Claire  Currie,  '05,  Webster  City,  Iowa. 

Recording  Secretary,  Mary  (Davidson)  Budge,  '05,  Ames,  Iowa. 

Treasurer,  Herman  Knapp,  '83,  Ames,  Iowa. 

General  Secretary,  Ward  M.  Jones,  '97,  Ames,  Iowa. 

The  annual  meeting  and  banquet  is  held  commencement  week.     A  local 


34  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

association  was  organized  at  Ames  in  April,  1903,  in  order  to  arrange  the 
annual  meetings  and  to  keep  the  local  alumni  in  touch  with  one  another. 

Active  local  branches  of  the  general  association  exist  in  Southern  and 
Northern  California,  Washington,  D.  C,  Pittsburgh,  Chicago,  St.  Louis, 
Seattle,  Minneapolis  and  St.  Paul,  Omaha,  New  York  City,  Kansas  City, 
Detroit,  Spokane,  and  Oklahoma  City ;  in  the  state,  at  Des  Moines,  Sioux 
City,  Davenport,  Waterloo,  and  in  several  counties. 

The  Alumnus,  the  official  organ  of  the  association,  appears  monthly 
except  in  August  and  September.  It  is  under  the  supervision  of  the  gen- 
eral secretary. 

The  offices  of  the  association  are  on  the  second  floor  of  Alumni  Hall, 
where  all  alumni  and  ex-students  will  find  a  hearty  welcome. 

STUDENT  PUBLICATIONS 

The  I.  S.  C.  Student  is  a  tri-weekly  newspaper  published  by  a  staff 
appointed  from  the  student  body  and  devoted  to  the  news  of  the  College. 

The  Bomb  is  an  annual  published  by  the  Junior  class. 

The  Iowa  Agriculturist  is  an  agricultural  monthly  magazine  published 
by  the  students  of  the  Agricultural  Division,  in  cooperation  with  the 
Department  of  Agricultural  Journalism. 

The   Iowa  Engineer  is  published  monthly  by  the   Engineering   Society. 

PUBLIC  SPEAKING  COUNCIL 

The  Public  Speaking  Council  is  an  organization  composed  of  three 
faculty  members  recommended  by  the  President  of  the  College  and 
appointed  by  the  Board  of  Education ;  and  one  representative  from  each 
of  the  ten  literary  societies,  the  Sophomore,  the  Junior,  and  the  Senior 
classes,  ^.and  the  Dramatic  Club.  The  Council  promotes  and  manages  all 
dramatic  and  public  speaking  activities  at  Iowa  State  College.  These 
activities  include  intersociety  and  intercollegiate  debates,  dramatic,  ora- 
torical, and  extempore  speaking  contests,  joint  literary  society  programs, 
literary  society  graduation  exercises,  and  all  class  plays. 

Teams  of  three  members  from  each  of  the  societies  meet  in  two  series 
of  debates  during  the  fall  quarter.  In  the  spring  the  successive  winners 
meet  in  the  semifinal  and  final  debates  for  the  Kennedy  cup.  The  final 
winners  are  awarded  the  cup  for  one  year,  and  the  name  of  their  society 
is  inscribed  upon  it.  This  series  of  debates  offers  excellent  training  for 
the  intercollegiate  debates.  Iowa  State  College  is  a  member  of  two 
debating  leagues.  In  the  fall  two  debating  teams  of  three  students  meet 
Kansas  Agricultural  College ;  in  the  spring,  Purdue  University  and  Michi- 
gan Agricultural  College. 

There  is  a  growing  interest  in  extemporaneous  speaking  in  Iowa  State 
College.  The  members  of  the  faculty  have  donated  to  the  Council  a 
trophy  to  be  awarded  annually  to  the  winner  of  the  extempore  speaking 
contest. 

The  Sophomore,  Junior,  Senior,  inter-literary  socitey,  and  dramatic  club 
plays  offer  training  in  dramatics  to  a  great  many  students.  The  funds 
from  these  plays  pay  a  large  part  of  the  expenses  of  public  speaking 
events. 

LITERARY  SOCIETIES 

The  work  of  the  ten  literary  societies  serves  not  only  to  supplement  the 
social  and  literary  work  of  the  College,  but  also  to  aid  the  student  in 
securing  that  training  so  necessary  to  enable  him  to  appear  before  an 
audience,  that  training  which  every  student  needs  and  which  cannot  be 
secured  in  the  class  room  alone.  Every  student  is  invited,  even  urged,  to 
join  one  of  these  societies.

Orange  Howard  Cessna,  Chaplain 

Fred  C.  Hansen,  General  Secretary,  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Fina  C.  Ott,  General  Secretary,  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

The  college  life  is  permeated  with  religious  influences.  The  following 
re  among  the  more  evident  moral  and  religious  forces  in  operation 
iroughout  the  year : 

1.  The  Sunday  Morning  Chapel  Services  are  held  in  Agricultural 
fall  auditorium  and  are  addressed  by  prominent  clergymen  of  all  deno- 


36  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

initiations  who  accept  special  invitiations  to  come  to  the  College  for  this 
purpose.  These  services  are  well  attended.  Often  the  hall  is  filled  to  its 
capacity  of  nearly  900.  An  attractive  feature  is  the  music  furnished  by  a 
choir  of  College  students. 

2.  The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  are  quartered  in  Alumni 
Hall  on  the  campus  and  have  regular  secretaries.  Last  year  over  85%  of 
the  young  women  students  belonged  to  their  association.  The  associations 
conduct  Bible  classes  in  sororities,  fraternities,  and  boarding  houses, 
These  classes  are  well  attended.  Special  religious  services  are  held  under 
the  direction  of  prominent  Association  leaders. 

There  are  in  active  operation  a  Catholic  Students'  Association,  a  Luther 
League,  Brotherhood  of  St.  Andrew,  Epworth  League,  Baptist  Young 
People's  Union,  and  Christian  Endeavor  Societies. 

3.  College  Pastors.  Four  churches  now  maintain  college  pastors  at 
Ames,  the  Methodist,  the  Presbyterian,  the  Congregational,  and  Episcopal. 
These  men  work  in  conjunction  with  their  churches  and  with  the  religious 
organizations  on  the  campus.    They  are  exerting  a  helpful  influence. 

4.  There  are  ten  different  denominational  churches  in  Ames,  all  of 
which  are  in  touch  with  the  students,  who  are  cordially  invited  to  ta]<e 
part  in  all  religious  services.

Admission  to  College 


Every  student  entering  college  must  file  an  official  statement  of  his 
previous  educational  work.  Applications  for  credential  blanks  and  all 
communications  with  regard  to  admission  should  be  addressed  to  the 
Registrar.  Official  high  school  records  should  be  filed  with  the  Registrar 
at  the  close  of  the  school  year,  if  possible,  and  not  later  than  the  first 
Monday  in  September,  December,  or  March.  The  Registrar  will  deter- 
mine the  value  of  all  credentials  and  will  notify  the  applicant  of  their 
acceptance.  He  will  also  assign  the  applicant  for  admission  to  his  position 
in  the  course  desired.  Continuance  in  such  assignment  will  be  conditioned 
upon  the  student's  doing  creditable  work. 

Applicants  for  admission  to  all  collegiate  courses  should  be  at  least 
sixteen  years  of  age. 

Students  may  enter  the  College  at  the  beginning  of  any  quarter.  Those 
wishing  to  enter  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  or  third  quarter  should 
find  out  from  the  Registrar  whether  entrance  at  that  time  is  feasible  in 
their  case.  The  regular  classes  begin  with  the  opening  in  September  and 
the  student  is  urged  to  commence  at  that  time.  Some  Freshman  subjects 
are,  however,  begun  in  each  quarter.  The  College  desires  to  emphasize 
the  importance  of  thorough  preparation,  particularly  in  subjects  that  are 
to  be  continued  in  College.  Since  without  thorough  preparation  satisfac- 
tory progress  is  impossible,  students  are  urged  to  review  carefully,  before 
entering  College,  algebra  through  quadratics  and  English  composition  and 
grammar.  Those  desiring  admission  should  examine  Requirements  for 
Admission,  below.

12  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

METHODS  OF  ADMISSION 

1.    Admission  to  Graduates  of  IOWA  HIGH  SCHOOLS 

A  graduate  of  a  public  four-year  high  school  in  Iowa,  who  presents 
fifteeen  units  of  work,  will  be  admitted  without  examination  to  such  col- 
legiate work  as  he  is  prepared  to  pursue,  upon  presenting  a  certificate 
signed  by  the  Superintendent  or  the  Principal,  specifying  the  branches  of 
study  and  credits  included  within  his  high  school  course  of  study.  A 
graduate  of  any  private  four-year  high  school,  seminary,  or  academy 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Secondary  School  Relations  will  be  admitted  on 
the  same  basis. 

If  a  high  school  graduate  does  not  meet  present  admission  requirements 
to  the  course  he  desires  to  pursue  the  deficiency  must  be  removed  by 
studies  taken  at  the  College.  Credit  earned  in  removing  such  deficiencies 
will  not  be  applied  toward  college  graduation  in  the  specific  course  chosen. 

2.     Admission  from  Other  Secondary  Schools 

A  student  presenting  a  certificate  from  a  secondary  school  not  described 
under  1  above,  may  be  admitted  to  collegiate  courses  by  the  following  plan : 

(a)  He  is  to  pass  entrance  examinations  in  subjects  representing  each  of 
the  main  groups  of  subjects  certified,  for  one-third  of  the  number 
of  acceptable  credits  so  certified. 

(b)  The  subjects  for  examination  are  to  be  selected  by  the  examiner  at 
the  time  of  the  examination  and  irrespective  of  the  choice  of  the 
student. 

(c)  The  total  number  of  credits  allowed  on  the  certificate  shall  not  ex- 
ceed three  times  the  number  earned  by  examination. 

(d)  The  total  amount  of  credit  gained  by  examination  and  certificate 
must  equal  at  least  the  requirements  for  admission  as  stated  on 
page  10  and  preceding. 

3.  Admission  to  Graduates  of  High  Schools  in  Other  States 
Graduates  of  high  schools  accredited  by  the  state  universities  or  other 
state  accrediting  agencies  will  be  admitted  by  certificate.  High  school 
graduates,  whose  certificates  would  be  accepted  without  examination  by 
reputable  colleges  in  the  state  in  which  they  are  located,  provided  these 
states  have  no  accrediting  system,  will  be  admitted  by  certificate.  Gradu- 
ates of  other  schools  will  be  required  to  take  entrance  examinations. 

4.    Admission  to  Non-graduates  of  High  Schools 

The  student  not  a  graduate  presenting  credits  from  a  public  four-year 
high  school  or  a  private  four-year  high  school,  academy,  or  seminary, 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Secondary  School  Relations. 

(A)  Such  student  will  not  be  admitted  unless  he  presents  as  many  as 
fourteen  (14)  acceptable  units  by  certificate,  by  examination,  or  by  both 
certificate  and  examination ;  and  he  is  to  be  conditioned  to  the  extent  of 
enough  units  to  bring  the  number  up  to  fifteen  (15)  units.  These  units 
must  be  according  to  specified  list  of  units  found  under  pre-technical  work 
on  page  7. 

(B)  Entrance  conditions  must  be  removed  within  one  calendar  year 
after  the  student's  admission,  or  before  he  registers  for  his  second  year's 
work;  and  the  student  is  to  be  registered  at  once  for  the  work  in  which 
he  is  deficient  as  a  part  of  the  normal  amount  of  work  allowed  to  stu- 
dents. If,  however,  he  shows  by  the  end  of  the  first  term  that  he  is  an 
unusually  capable  student,  he  may  be  permitted  under  the  faculty  regula- 
tions to  register  for  additional  work  during  the  following  term. 

(C)  Students  admitted  with  conditions  are  not  to  be  permitted  to 
remove  these  conditions  within  the  allotted  one  year  by  taking  entrance 
examinations  in  subjects  in  which  they  have  been  taking  college  courses 
for  credit. 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  13

fails  to  do  satisfactory  work  in  the  succeeding  college  course  in  that  sub- 
ject, he  is  not  to  be  assigned  to  a  pre-technical  course  in  the  subject  with 
a  view  of  securing  college  credit  for  such  pre-technical  course.

factory evidence  that  they  have  devoted  sufficient  time  to  preparation,  will 
be  given  examinations  in  any  subject  required  for  entrance.

examinations  in  the  Required  and  elective  subjects,  according  to  work 
outlined  on  pages  8  to  10.

Students  of  other  colleges  will  be  admitted  to  advanced  standing  in  this 
College  under  the  following  conditions : 

First,  they  must  present  a  letter  of  honorable  dismissal. 

Second,  the  entrance  requirements  to  this  College  must  be  fully  satis- 
fied (see  Admission  under  Entrance  Requirements). 

Third,  it  is  required  that  all  credits  from  other  colleges  be  sent  by  the 
proper  officers  of  such  institutions,  duly  certified,  to  the  Registrar  of  this 
College;  such  certificates  to  include  number  of  weeks  the  student  has 
pursued  the  studies  in  question  and  the  number  of  hours'  credit  received 
in  each  quarter  or  semester,  as  well  as  the  portion  of  the  subject  covered. 

No  standing  shall  be  accepted  from  any  high  school  or  academy  for 
regular  four-year  college  work.  It  is  the  privilege  of  any  student  to  ask 
for  and  receive  examination  in  any  subject  taught  in  any  department  of 
the  College,  provided  that  he  can  show  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  head  of 
the  department  that  he  has  made  the  necessary  preparation. 

Students  from  other  colleges. 

Work  of  recognized  merit  that  has  been  taken  in  colleges  and  universi- 
ties of  good  rank  and  standing  will  be  credited  for  an  equivalent  amount 
of  work  so  far  as  it  applies  in  any  course  offered  in  this  College. 

Students  taking  work  in  this  way  will  present  official  records  of  their 
work  to  the  advanced  standing  committee  at  the  office  of  the  Registrar  to 
ascertain  the  credits  to  be  allowed.  It  will  be  understood  between  the 
applicant  and  the  committee  that  the  credits  are  only  provisionally  accepted 
and  that  their  final  acceptance  depends  wholly  upon  the  student's  main- 
taining a  good  average  standing  for  one  year. 

Graduates  of  approved  colleges,  who  are  not  candidates  for  a  degree, 
may  take  special  work  in  this  institution  under  the  rules  governing  special 
students,  without  having  to  complete  the  Freshman  year  in  any  of  the 
college  courses.  Permission  to  take  such  special  course  and  the  subjects 
included  therein  depends  upon  the  approval  of  the  President  of  the  Col- 
lege and  the  Dean  of  the  Division  or  Head  of  the  Department  in  which 
the  student  seeks  enrollment. 

Fees  and  Expenses 

Expenses:  The  average  expenses  for  men  need  not  exceed  from  $500 
to  $700  per  year. 

Honor  Scholarships:  The  State  Board  of  Education  has  provided  one 
honor  scholarship  for  each  four-year  approved  high  school  in  the  state. 
The  scholarship  represents  the  same  value  in  cash  whether  presented  at  the 
State  College  or  at  any  one  of  the  other  state  institutions.  It  is  worth 
at  least  $20.00  for  the  year,  and  at  the  State  College  this  amount  will  be 
allowed  on  fees. 

As  soon  as  any  school  has  made  its  nomination  for  the  scholarship, 
the  school  authorities  are  expected  to  report  the  name  and  address  of  the 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  15

of  Secondary  Schools,  State  Board  of  Education,  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  who 
will  approve  the  nomination  if  the  conditions  have  been  met,  forward  the 
proper  credentials  to  the  candidate,  and  send  the  certificate  of  credits  to 
the  institution  elected.

usage  are  charged  to  the  students,  the  Treasurer's  receipt  for  such  fees 
being  required  before  the  students  are  admitted  to  laboratories.  For  the 
amount  of  the  fee  in  any  study,  see  description  of  the  study  under  its 
department.  All  refunds  on  laboratory  fees  will  be  made  at  the  close  of 
the  quarter. 

Diploma  Fee:     A  diploma  fee  of  $5.00  is  payable  before  graduation. 

Exemption  from  Fees:  All  honorably  discharged  soldiers  and  sailors

fee  for  the  Fall  quarter;  $6.00  incidental  and  janitor  fee  and  $1.00  general 
physical  training  fee  for  the  Winter  and  for  the  Spring  quarters.  Students 
claiming  this  exemption  shall  show  their  discharge  papers  at  the  Treasu- 
rer's office  when  they  enter  college. 

Board  and  Room:  All  men  students  can  secure  furnished  rooms  and 
board  in  clubs  or  private  families  adjacent  to  the  College  grounds  at  $6.00 
per  week.  In  order  that  undesirable  rooms  and  houses  may  be  avoided, 
young  men  students  should  consult  the  Secretary  of  the  Young  Men's 
Christian  Association,  Alumni  Hall,  Ames,  Iowa.  For  sanitary  or  other 
reasons  the  College  authorities  reserve  the  right  to  forbid  students  from 
rooming  in  any  particular  house. 

For  the  information  of  students,  clubs,  and  interested  private  families 
the  Committee  on  Student  Accommodations  has  prepared  standard  regu- 
lations to  assist  in  the  management  of  houses  which  furnish  rooms  or 
board  to  students.  These  regulations  are  for  the  use  of  members  of  the 
instructional  and  clerical  staffs  and  other  members  of  the  College  com- 
munity when  reference  to  standard  practice  is  desirable.  Houses  accom- 
modating both  students  and  others  who  are  not  students  are  expected  to 
observe  regulations  for  houses  accommodating  students.  Copies  of  these 
regulations  may  be  secured  from  the  President's  office,  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
Secretary,  or  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Student  Accommodations. 

Text  Books:  All  text  books  and  stationery  may  be  purchased  at  the 
College  Book  Store  at  about  20  per  cent  below  the  average  retail  price. 

Freshman  Expenses 

Taking  into  consideration  the  items  named  under  Fees  and  Expenses, 
the  following  is  an  approximate  estimate  of  the  expenses  of  a  Freshman 
for  each  of  the  three  quarters  of  the  College  year : 

Minimum  Maximum 
Amount       Amount 

Board    (12   weeks) $66.00        $96.00 

Room  rent  (12  weeks — 2  in  a  room) 21.00  36.00 

Laundry    12.00  18.00 

Incidental  and  janitor  fee 6.00  8.00 

Laboratory  fees    10.00  12.00 

Books  and  equipment 15.00  30.00 

Note — See  Library  Regulations,   page  37. 

Note — To  cover  the  cost  of  a  satisfactory  uniform  it  probably  will  be 
necessary  for  each  student  taking  military  instruction  to  make  a  deposit 
of  not  to  exceed  $45.00,  $36.00  of  which  will  be  refunded  during  the  first 
year,  the  remainder  to  be  refunded  during  the  second  year  subject  to  the 
regulations  of  the  U.  S.  government. 

Note:  Prospective  Freshmen  should  carefully  consider  the  cost  of  the 
first  year.  No  one  should  think  of  entering  college  unless  he  has  money 
enough  in  his  own  right  or  from  friends  to  meet  his  expenses  in  large  part 
for  his  Freshman  year.  If  he  goes  out  of  his  Freshman  year  in  debt,  he  is 
quite  sure  to  be  seriously  embarrassed  for  the  remainder  of  his  college 
course.  Provision  should  be  made  to  meet  college  bills  with  the  same 
business-like  promptness  with  which  one  expects  to  meet  other  bills. 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  17 

All  men  pay  a  general  Physical  Training  fee  of  $1.00  per  quarter. 

Members  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  will  have  their  uniforms  furnished  by  the 
government.  All  other  students  will  receive  information  as  to  prices  from 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  Military  department. 

In  addition  to  these  items,  at  the  beginning  of  the  Freshman  year  each 
man  student  will  be  required  to  purchase  a  gymnasium  suit  for  $5.00. 

The  student  is  also  advised  to  purchase  a  student's  activities  ticket  and 
to  pay  class  dues. 

The  military  and  gymnasium  suits  and  drawing  equipment  will  be  ser- 
viceable for  the  entire  course. 

If  a  student  is  a  non-resident  of  the  state  $17.00  per  quarter  should  be 
added  for  tuition. 

The  incidental  and  janitor  fee,  laboratory  fees,  books  and  equipment, 
gymnasium  outfit,  and  some  payment  toward  room  rent  and  board  are 
required  in  advance. 

Classification  and  Standing 

Junior  and  Senior  College:     The  students  are  classified  in  Junior  and 
Senior  colleges.     The  Junior  college  is  composed  of   all   students   in  the  * 
Freshman  and  Sophomore  years ;    the  Senior  college,  of  all  students  in  the 
Junior  and  Senior  years. 

Amount  of  Work:  The  amount  of  work  in  each  course  is  expressed 
in  credits,  a  credit  meaning  one  recitation  a  week,  or  its  equivalent, 
throughout  the  quarter.  It  is  considered  that  a  one-hour  recitation  or 
lecture  will  require  as  much  time  including  preparation  as  a  three-hour 
laboratory,  and  therefore  it  is  given  the  same  credit.  Any  two-hour  labor- 
atory period  is  equivalent  to  two-thirds  of  a  three-hour  laboratory. 

Number  of  Credits:  No  student  shall  classify  in  more  than  the  maxi- 
mum number  of  hours  allowed  in  his  course  unless  by  his  previous  record 
he  has  shown  exceptional  ability.  In  no  case  shall  he  be  classified  in  more 
than  twenty  hours.  The  student  will  be  allowed  to  drop  such  extra  work 
only  upon  permission  of  the  classifying  Dean ;  he  will  be  required  to  drop 
it  in  case  this  or  any  other  work  in  his,  schedule  is  being  carried  unsatis- 
factorily. A  "condition"  or  a  "not  pass"  secured  in  such  extra  work  shall 
stand  as  a  record,  and  shall  be  considered  in  choosing  fraternity  members, 
but  an  elective  shall  not  be  held  against  the  student  for  graduation. 

In  general,  students  failing  in  any  .portion  of  a  quarter's  work  will  not 
be  allowed  to  take  full  classification  for  the  next  quarter. 

Classification:  No  student  shall  be  admitted  to  any  class  or  dropped 
from  it,  except  by  authority  of  the  classifying  officer. 

Conflicts:  Students  shall  not  classify  in  conflicting  studies  without  the 
approval  of  the  classifying  officer. 

Standings:  All  the  standings  are  based  on  the  scale  of  100.  The 
passing  grade  is  75.  A  student  receiving  from  60  to  74  per  cent  inclusive 
in  any  course  is  conditioned,  and  allowed  to  make  up  the  condition  under 
the  direction  of  the  head  of  the  department.    . 

Back  Studies :  Students  shall  be  classified  in  back  studies  in  all  cases 
in  which  such  studies  are  taught,  subject  to  the  first  rule  under  Number 
of  Credits.  Any  exception  to  this  rule  must  be  for  good  and  sufficient 
reason,  approved  by  the  classifying  Dean. 

Changing  Course:  A  student  will  not  be  permitted  to  change  from 
one  course  to  another  who  has  a  "condition"  or  "not  pass"  in  a  subject  not 
common  to  the  two  courses :  or  if  he  has  more  than  one  "condition"  or 
"not  pass"  in  subjects  common  to  the  two  courses. 

Senior  Year:  No  student  shall  be  considered  a  candidate  for  gradua- 
tion who  at  the  beginning  of  the  Spring  quarter  of  the  Senior  year  has 
more  than  twenty  hours  of  work  to  complete  his  course  of  study.  If  the 
uncompleted  work  is  not  offered  in  the  Spring  quarter,  it  shall  be  passed 
and  reported  to  the  Recorder  not  later  than  April  first. 


Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine 

Dean  Stange,  Veterinary  Building 

Vice  Dean  Bemis,  Veterinary  Building 

The  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  offers  the  following  courses : 

Four-year  course:   Veterinary  Medicine    p.  18 

Six-year   course:     Animal   Husbandry   and   Veterinary   Medicine' p.  21 

Six-year   course:     Science   and   Veterinary    Medicine    p.  19 

The  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  offers  a  four-year  course  leading 
to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine,  and  combined  six-year 
courses  with  either  the  Division  of  Industrial  Science  or  the  Department 
of  Animal  Husbandry,  and  leading  to  both  B.  Sc.  and  D.  V.  M.  degrees. 
The  Veterinary  Division  consists  of  five  educational  departments,  the  head 
of  each  department  being  a  man  of  broad  experience  in  the  particular 
branches  of  medical  science  which  the  department  represents. 

The  following  departments  are  included  in  the  Division: 

Department    of    Anatomy     p.     21 

Department   of    Pathology p.     23 

Department   of    Physiology   and    Pharmacology    p.     24 

Department  of  Medicine p.     22 

Department    of    Surgery    p.     25 

The  faculty  of  the  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  consists  of  the 
Dean  of  the  Division,  together  with  the  professors  at  the  head  of  depart- 
ments, the  associate  and  assistant  professors  in  the  departments,  and 
instructors.  Representatives  (to  the  number  indicated)  of  the  following 
departments  outside  of  the  Veterinary  Division,  in  which  the  veterinary 
students  do  a  part  of  their  work,  are  considered  members  of  the  veterinary 
faculty:  Chemistry  (1),  Botany  (1),  Animal  Husbandry  (1),  Dairying 
(1),  English  and  Economic  Science  (1),  and  Zoology  (1). 

Aside  from  the  strictly  educational  departments  in  the  Division,  there  is 
also  the  Department  of  Research  in  Animal  Diseases,  which  gives  the 
student  rare  opportunity  to  observe  those  phases  of  veterinary  science  in 
which  this  department  is  engaged. 

Aside  from  the  facilities  which  belong  especially  to  the  Veterinai 
Division,  the  equipment  for  instruction  in  Animal  Husbandry,  consisting 
of  large  flocks  and  herds  of  carefully  selected  breeds  of  live  stock,  helps 
to  render  practical  instruction  very  efficient.  The  most  perfect  types  of 
the  different  breeds  are  used  for  class  work.  In  this  way  the  work  ii 
Veterinary  Medicine  is  linked  with  that  in  Agriculture,  an  arrangemenl 
which  proves  to  be  of  inestimable  value  to  veterinarians.  The  fact  that 
the  College  is  located  in  the  richest  live  stock  country  in  the  world  pro- 
vides a  rare  opportunity  for  the  veterinary  student  to  study  this  phase  of 
animal  industry ;  it  also  enables  him  to  observe  a  wealth  of  clinical  cases 
both  at  the  College  Hospital,  and  under  general  practice  conditions  by 
means  of  the  Ambulatory  Clinic. 

Work  in  Botany,  Chemistry,  Zoology,  and  other  related  sciences  is 
adequately  provided  for  in  the  special  buildings  for  the  accommodation 
of  these  several  departments  of  college  work.  Each  branch  of  study  is 
presented  to  the  student  by  a  specialist. 

Candidates  for  graduation  must  be  twenty-one  years  of  age,  of  good 
character,  and  must  have  passed  examinations  in  all  the  required  subjects 
in  the  course,  to  secure  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine. 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  19 

The  following  are  a  few  of  the  many  openings  available  to  graduates : 

General  Practice:  In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  national  live  stock 
valuation  is  estimated  at  $10,000,000,000,  it  becomes  obvious  that  the  gradu- 
ate possessing  fitness  and  aptitude  for  live  stock  work  will  meet  with  a 
ready  demand  and  receive  substantial  compensation  for  his  services. 

Bureau  of  Animal  Industry:  Veterinarians  arp  in  demand  for  in- 
spection work  in  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture,  at  salaries  ranging  from  $1,400  to  $2,5CO. 

Army  Veterinary  Service:  Excellent  opportunities  are  now  offered 
to  young  veterinarians  in  the  United  States  Army.  The  Army  Veterinary 
Corps  is  organized  as  a  part  of  the  Medical  Department  of  the  Arnvy,  and 
army  veterinarians  receive  the  rank,  pay,  and  allowances  of  commissioned 
army  officers,  entering  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant  at  $1,700  per  year,  with 
excellent  opportunity  for  advancement  in  rank,  with  corresponding  in- 
creases in  salary  and  allowances.  These  positions  are  very  desirable,  and 
include  a  wide  range  of  professional  work. 

Municipal  and  State  Work:  Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  larger  cities 
are  rapidly  inaugurating  systems  of  milk  and  meat  inspection,  there  is  an 
increasing  demand  for  competent  veterinarians  drilled  in  Bacteriology  and 
Pathology.  A  large  number  of  state  positions  are  also  open,  on  account  of 
the  rigid  laws  governing  inter-state  shipment  of  live  stock  which  are  being 
enacted  by  the  various  states. 

Sanitation:  The  value  of  the  educated  veterinarian  as  a  sanitarian  is 
being  recognized  and  positions  are  open  in  this  field. 

Education  and  Research:  The  demand  for  men  capable  of  doing  in- 
vestigation work  in  animal  diseases,  associated  work  in  connection  with 
State  Experiment  Stations,  and  of  filling  various  teaching  positions  in 
agricultural  and  veterinary  colleges,  has  been  greater  than  the  supply. 

Commercial  Work:  The  lines  of  commercial  work  which  demand 
trained  veterinarians  are  increasing  yearly.  These  include  positions  with 
railway  companies,  live  stock  concerns,  in  biological  laboratories,  pharma- 
ceutical houses,  etc.  The  demand  for  qualified  veterinarians  exceeds  the 
supply,  and  many  graduates  go  directly  from  college  to  positions  paying 
$150  per  month  and  upward.

Course  in  Industrial  Science  and  Veterinary  Medicine  (six  years) 

Leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  and  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Veterinary  Medicine. 

The  following  course  is  designed  to  meet  the  need  of  the  students  who 
wish  to  secure  a  thorough  foundation  in  the  biological  and  chemical 
sciences  preliminary  to  the  studying  of  veterinary  medicine.  The  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Science  is  granted  at  the  end  of  the  fourth  year,  and  the 


t  Part  credit  may  be  omitted  by  students  appointed  to  the  Reserve  Offi- 
cers' Training  Corps,  arrangements  to  be  made  with  the  classifying 
officer.

degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine  upon  the  completion  of  the  sixth 
year.  The  increased  time  at  the  disposal  of  the  student  gives  an  oppor- 
tunity to  prepare  himself  efficiently  for  investigational  work. 

Af  the  present  time  the  better  colleges  granting  degrees  in  human  medi- 
cine require  two  years  of  collegiate  preparation.  Veterinary  Medicine  is 
quite  as  exacting  in  its  requirements  of  students,  particularly  those  who 
wish  to  go  into  governmental  or  research  work.  The  opportunities  open 
to  students  well  grounded  both  in  science  and  in  veterinary  medicine  are 
excellent.  Many  positions  in  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  of  the  De- 
partment of  Agriculture,  in  the  experiment  stations  of  our  land  grant 
colleges,  and  in  the  teaching  staffs  of  our  various  veterinary  schools  and 
agricultural  colleges,  are  opened  every  year.  It  has  been  in  the  past 
practically  impossible  to  secure  men  with  the  right  training.  This  course  is 
designed  to  train  men  for  such  positions. 

For  pre-technical  studies  reqquired  for  this  course,   see  page  7.

Course  in  Animal  Husbandry  and  Veterinary  Medicine 

On  account  of  a  demand  for  a  course  offering  degrees  in  both  Animal 
Husbandry  and  Veterinary  Medicine,  a  combined  course  has  been  outlined 
so  that  the  student  pursuing  this  course  may  receive  both  degrees  in  six 
years. 

Short  Course  for  Practitioners  in  Veterinary  Medicine 

It  is  proposed  to  arrange  the  course  so  that  practitioners  may  spend  a 
few  days  at  Ames  and  get  the  latest  and  best  that  is  being  made  available 
in  any  state  or  country. 

Definition  of  a  Credit:  The  amount  of  work  in  each  study  is  expressed 
in  credits,  a  credit  meaning  one  recitation  or  its  equivalent  a  week  through- 
out the  quarter.  It  is  considered  that  a  one-hour  recitation  or  lecture  will 
require  as  much  time  including  preparation  as  a  three-hour  laboratory, 
and  therefore  should  be  given  the  same  credit.  Any  two-hour  laboratory 
period  is  equivalent  to  two-thirds  of  a  credit. 

Study  Numbers:  In  each  department  the  studies,  for  convenience  of 
reference,  are  given  in  numerical  order.

The  Department  of  Anatomy  gives  instruction  to  students  in  either 
Veterinary  Medicine  or  Animal  Husbandry.  The  laboratories  are  well 
equipped.  In  histology  and  osteology  each  student  is  assigned  an  indi- 
vidual desk  provided  with  a  microscope,  100  permanent  mounts  of  tissue, 
laboratory  notes,  and  one-half  skeleton  of  disarticulated  bones  of  the 
horse.  The  dissecting  room  is  modern,  sanitary,  and  well  equipped. 
All  cadavers  are  preserved.  Students  in  Animal  Husbandry  prepare  for 
their  work  in  nutrition  and  stock  judging.  Veterinary  students  should 
have  a  detailed  knowledge  of  the  structure  of  the  domestic  animals  and 
birds  to  understand  properly  Physiology,  Pathology,  Diagnosis,  Surgery, 
and  Medicine. 

The  following  methods  are  used  in  teaching  anatomy:  didactic  instruc- 
tion, quiz,  specimen  demonstration,  specimen  study,  lantern  slide  demon-

stration,  dissection,  sketching,  the  use  of  the  living  horse  for  palpating 
and  outlining  the  structures.  A  large  and  well  selected  number  of  speci- 
mens and  lantern  slides  is  used  in  the  class  and  laboratory  demonstrations 
to  emphasize  the  most  important  structures  and  their  relations  from  a 
clinical  standpoint.  These  are  also  available  for  student  use.  In  the 
laboratory  special  attention  is  given  to  fascial  compartments,  joint  pouch- 
ings,  vaginal  sheaths,  bursae,  and  topography.  Class  work  in  splanch- 
nology also  covers  the  microscopic  anatomy. 

The  class  work  is  mostly  quizzes,  with  supplemental  statements  and 
demonstrations  By  the  instructors  to  fix  the  knowledge  of  the  structures 
of  the  animal  body  gained  in  the  laboratory  by  the  student.

The  study  of  medicine  summarizes  and  shows  the  application  in  practice 
of  the  'training  previously  received  in  Anatomy,  Physiology,  Pathology, 
Bacteriology,  and  Therapeutics.  The  work  is  given  in  the  form  of  lectures 
and  clinical  demonstrations  and  extends  throughout  the  Junior  and  Senior 
years.  Diagnostic  methods  employed  in  the  detection  of  animal  diseases 
are  carried  out  by  each  student  on  the  various  organs  and  systems  of  the 
different  species  of  animals.  The  surrounding  community  furnishes  an 
abundance  of  material  for  such  work.  When  cases  cannot  be  brought  to 
the  hospital,  students  are  taken  to  the  farms  and  given  actual  practice  in 
the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  the  cases  under  the  direct  supervision  of  an 
experienced  member  of  the  faculty.     The  latter  arrangement  provides  a 


24  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

large  variety  of  cases  and  gives  opportunity  to  observe  both  healthy  and 
diseased  animals  under  natural  farm  conditions  and  the  student  is  taught 
how  to  overcome  difficulties  frequently  met  with  on  farms  where  facilities 
are  restricted. 

Infectious  diseases  are  considered  in  detail,  diagnosis  and  methods  of 
control  being  especially  emphasized. 

General  sanitation  and  hygiene  are  taken  up  with  special  reference  to 
the  most  practical  means  of  keeping  animals  in  health  and  preventing  dis- 
eases. 

On  completion  of  the  Senior  year  the  student  has  not  only  the  theo- 
retical knowledge,  but  some  of  the  most  practical  methods  of  applying  such 
knowledge.  The  transition  from  the  student  to  the  practitioner  presents 
little  difficulty  after  such  training.

The  Department  of  Veterinary  Pathology  and  Bacteriology  occupies  the 
northeast  building  of  the  veterinary  group.  Two  offices  open  directly  into 
a  private  laboratory  that  is  used  by  those  in  charge  to  investigate  problems 
pertaining  to  their  lines  of  work.  A  large  general  student  laboratory 
facing  the  north,  east,  and  west  is  well  lighted  and  supplied  with  individual 
equipment  for  a  section  of  thirty  students.  A  pathology  preparation  room, 
a  bacteriology  preparation  room  and  a  room-incubator  open  into  the  main 
laboratory.  A  class  lecture  room  to  accommodate  fifty  students  is  equipped 
with  a  combination  lantern-slide,  microscopic  projection,  and  photomicro- 
graphic  machine.  In  the  basement  are  six  rooms  for  the  housing  of  small 
experimental  animals,  for  the  preparation  and  mounting  of  museum  speci- 
mens, and  for  storage  of  supplies,  and  a  large  storage  room  for  museum 
specimens  used  by  the  department. 

The  work  of  the  department  consists  of  a  systematic  study  of  the  causes 
of  disease  and  the  manner"  in  which  these  causes  bring  about  alterations, 
in  the  anatomical  structure  and  chemical  and  physiological  activities  of 
animal  tissues.  The  application  of  this  study  renders  diagnosis  more 
accurate  and  forms  the  foundation  for  rational  therapeutics.

The  southeast  building  of  the  Veterinary  group  is  devoted  to  work  in 
Physiology,  Pharmacy,  Materia  Medica,  and  Therapeutics.  This  building 
was  planned  for  the  investigation  and  teaching  of  physiological  and  phar- 
macological subjects,  and  is  admirably  arranged  and  equipped  for  the 
pursuance  of  general  or  research  work  along  these  lines. 

In  the  general  laboratories,  students  are  provided  with  individual  equip- 
ment as  far  as  possible,  and  thus  self  reliance  and  individual  responsibility 
./e  developed.  The  laboratories  have  been  newly  equipped  and  are  thof 
oughly  up-to-date.  The  latest  apparatus  for  practical  physiological,  phar- 
macological, or  pharmaceutical  demonstration  and  laboratory  work  is 
available. 

Before  attempting  a  proper  conception  of  diseased  conditions  it  is 
necessary  to  have  an  understanding  of  the  normal  functions  of  the  body 
structures.  The  purpose  of  the  work  in  Physiology  is  to  make  a  detailed 
study  of  the  normal  functions  and  activities  of  the  cells,  tissues,  organs, 
and  systems  constituting  the  animal  body.  The  work  is  presented  in  the 
form  of  lectures,  recitations,  demonstrations,  and  practical  laboratory 
work  in  which  the  chemical  and  physical  processes  of  the  animal  body  are 
considered  in  logical  order.  The  lecture  work  is  supplemented  by  the  use 
of  dissected  specimens,  practical  demonstrations,  and  drawings.  The 
laboratory  work  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  respiratory,  circulatory, 
muscular,  and  nervous  systems;  also  digestion  and  absorption,  and  the 
circulating  fluids  of  the  body.

The  Department  of  Surgery  is  especially  well  equipped  for  its  teaching. 
The  hospital  is  160  feet  long  by  60  feet  wide,  has  a  stall  capacity  for  42 
large  animals,  22  dogs,  and  other  small  animals,  and  contains  three  operat- 
ing rooms.  The  largest  65  by  30  feet,  is  used  for  examining  animals  as 
they  are  admitted,  and  for  minor  operations  and  treatment.  Joining  it  is 
a  clinical  amphitheatre ;  next  to  this  is  the  second  operating  room  for  large 
animals,  equipped  with  a  hydraulic  operating  table,  X-ray  apparatus,  and 
other  conveniences.  Between  the  operating  room  and  clinic  room  is  a 
dispensary  and  instrument  room.  On  the  upper  floor,  near  the  kennels,  is 
a  small  animal  operating  room  equipped  with  white  enamel  furniture ;  also 
operating  instruments  and  modern  steam  sterilizers  for  water,  instruments, 
and  dressings. 

During  the  school  year  more  than  eight  thousand  cases,  including  a 
wide  range  of  surgical  conditions,  are  operated  upon  and  treated  in  the 
clinics,  each  case  being  assigned  to  a  Senior  student  writh  one  or  more 
Junior   assistants.     All   operations    are   performed    by   the   professors    in 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  27 

charge,  and  the  after  treatment  is  always  under  their  direction,  the  idea 
being  that  the  clinical  cases  are  in  no  way  experimental,  but  that  they  shall 
be  treated  as  similar  cases  are  to  be  treated  later  in  practice. 

All  the  class  room  work  in  surgery  is  conducted  in  the  amphitheatre  in 
the  hospital  building,  where  animals  affected  with  conditions  under  discus- 
sion as  well  as  instruments  and  apparatus  to  be  used  in  diagnosis,  treat- 
ment, or  restraint,  can  be  brought  before  the  class.  Clinic  cases  are  con- 
stantly used  to  correlate  the  theoretical  and  the  practical.

Paul  K.  Purwin Laboratory  Assistant 

The  department  is  being  supported  by  special  appropriations  made  by  the 
legislature,  and  laboratories  and  experimental  animal  rooms  are  equipped 
for  this  special  work.  There  are  but  few  animal  diseases  entirely  under- 
stood, and  many  are  understood  in  no  particular.  It  is  the  object  of  this 
department  to  investigate  such  diseases  with  the  view  of  working  out  some 
method  by  which  they  can  be  controlled  or  eradicated. 

One  feature  of  the  work  of  this  department  is  the  diagnosis  of  disease 
by  laboratory  methods  and  examination  of  tissues.  Veterinarians  and 
livestock  owners  <are  encouraged  to  send  to  the  laboratory  tissues  and 
materials  from  doubtful  cases.  Careful  and  painstaking  examination  of 
these  is  made,  and  animal  inoculations  arc  carried  out  for  those  cases 
which  promise  something  new  or  rare.  Reports  of  such  examinations  are 
submitted  to  the  sender,  and  his  cooperation  is  solicited  in  working  out 
the  cases.  Accurate  records  of  such  work  are  kept  on  file  in  the  labora- 
tory and  are  available  to  members  of  the  Veterinary  Division  at  all  times

for  their  study  and  use.     Thus  the  work  of  the  department  supports  the 
instruction  work  and  assists  in  keeping  such  instruction  modern.

C.  H.   Stange,  D.  V.  M -.'.' Director 

The  State  Biological  Laboratory  for  the  manufacture  of  hog  cholera 
serum,  toxines,  vaccines,  and  biological  products  is  maintained  as  a  depart- 
ment in  the  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine.  While  hog  cholera  serum  is 
the  chief  product,  many  other  biological  products  and  vaccines  are  pro- 
duced in  the  Division,  and  the  work  is  at  all  times  available  for  study  by 
the  students  of  the  College  in  general,  and  for  those  of  the  Veterinary 
Division  in  particular. 

VETERINARY   MEDICAL   SOCIETY 

The  Veterinary  Medical  Society  is  an  organization  of  veterinary  students. 
Two  meetings  are  held  each  month  and  topics  relating  to  veterinary  medi-

General  Information 

ADMINISTRATION 

The  laws  of  the  United  States  and  State  of  Iowa  provide  for  the  scope 
and  the  management  of  the  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic 
Arts.  It  is  under  the  State  Board  of  Education,  which  consists  of  nine 
men  nominated  by  the  Governor  and  confirmed  by  the  Senate.  This' 
Board  appoints  a  finance  committee  consisting  of  three  men  who  give 
their  entire  time  to  the  management  of  the  four  state  educational  institu- 
tions of  Iowa,  of  which  the  Board  is  in  charge,  under  provision  of  the 
law  and  such  rules  and  regulations  as  the  State  Board  of  Education  may 
prescribe. 

GOVERNMENT 

The  character  of  the  College  buildings  and  the  nature  of  the  work 
make  order,  punctuality,  and  systematic  effort  indispensable.  The  institu- 
tion offers  no  inducement  to  the  idler  or  the  self-indulgent.  All  who  are 
too  independent  to  submit  to  needful  authority,  too  reckless  -to  accept 
wholesome  restraint,  or  too  careless  to  take  advantage  of  their  opportuni- 
ties, are  advised  not  to  come.  The  discipline  of  the  College  is  confined 
mainly  to  sending  away  those  who  prove,  on  fair  trial,  to  be  of  this  class. 
The  final  decision  of  all  cases  of  discipline  rests  with  the  President  of  the 
College  except  when  he  delegates  such  power  in  particular  cases  to  the 
deans  or  to  some  one  of  the  standing  committees  of  the  faculty. 

HISTORY 

An  act  establishing  "A  State  Agricultural  College  and  Model  Farm"  to 
be  connected  with  the  entire  agricultural  interests  of  the  state  was  passed 
by  the  legislature  of  Iowa  in  1858.  This  legislature  also  appointed  a  board 
of  commissioners  to  buy  a  farm  and  erect  a  college  building,  and  selected 
a  board  of  trustees  to  secure  a  faculty  and  organize  a  college.  In  1859  a 
farm  of  six  hundred  and  forty  acres  situated  near  Ames,  was  purchased. 

In  1862  Congress  enacted,  and  President  Lincoln  signed  a  bill  entitled, 
"An  act  donating  public  lands  to  the  several  States  and  Territories,  which 
may  provide  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  Agriculture  and -the  Mechanic 
Arts."  ^ 

Section  1  of  this  act  provides  that  for  the  support  of  such  colleges 
there  be  granted  "an  amount  of  public  land,  to  be  apportioned  to  each 
State  in  quantity  equal  to  thirty  thousand  acres  for  each  Senator  and 
Representative  in  Congress  to  which  the  States  are  respectively  entitled 
by  the  apportionment  under  the  census  of  1860." 

Section  4  requires :  "That  all  moneys  derived  from  the  sale  of  land  shall 
constitute  a  perpetual  fund,  the  capital  of  which  shall  remain  forever 
undiminished,  and  the  interest  of  which  shall  inviolably  be  apportioned  by 
each  State  which  may  take  and  claim  the  benefit  of  this  act,  to  the  endow- 
ment, support,  and  maintenance  of  at  least  one  college,  where  the  leading 
objects  shall  be,  without  excluding  other  scientific  and  classical  studies,  and 
including  military  tactics,  to  teach  such  branches  of  learning  as  are  related 
to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  in  such  manner  as  the  Legislature

of  the  State  may  provide,  in  order  to  promote  the  liberal  and  practical 
education  of  the  industrial  classes  in  the  several  pursuits  and  professions 
of  life." 

The  General  Assembly  of  Iowa,  September  11,  1862,  accepted  the  grant 
upon  the  conditions  and  under  the  restrictions  contained  in  the  act  of 
Congress,  and  by  so  doing  entered  into  contract  with  the  General  Gov- 
ernment to  erect  and  keep  in  repair  all  buildings  necessary  for  the  use  of 
the  College.  By  action  of  the  General  Assembly  the  College  was  changed, 
from  an  agricultural  institution  into  a  College  of  Agriculture  and  Me- 
chanic Arts  with  the  broad  and  liberal  course  of  study  outlined  in  the 
following  paragraph.  The  College  was  formally  opened  on  the  seven- 
teenth day  of  March  1869. 

In  1884  the  General  Assembly  passed  an  act  defining  the  course  of  study 
to  be  pursued,  as  follows :  "Section  1.  That  Section  1621  of  the  Code  is 
hereby  repealed  and  the  following  is  enacted  in  lieu  thereof:  'Section  1621. 
There  shall  be  adopted  and  taught  in  the  State  Agricultural  College,  a 
broad,  liberal,  and  practical  course  of  study,  in  which  the  leading  branches 
of  learning  shall  relate  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts  and  which 
shall  also  embrace  such  other  branches  of  learning  as  will  most  practically 
and  liberally  educate  the  agricultural  and  industrial  classes  in  the  several 
pursuits  and  professions  of  life,  including  military  tactics.  Section  2. 
That  all  acts  and  parts  of  acts  inconsistent  with  this  act  are  hereby  re- 
pealed'." 

August  thirtieth  the  following  act  was  approved  by  President  Harrison  : 
"Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United 
States  in  Congress  assembled,  that  there  shall  be  and  hereby  is,  annually 
appropriated,  out  of  any  moneys  in  the  treasury  not  otherwise  appropri- 
ated, arising  from  the  sales  of  public  lands,  to  be  paid,  as  hereinafter 
provided,  to  each  State  and  Territory  for  the  more  complete  endowment 
and  maintenance  of  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  agriculture  and  the  mechanic 
arts  now  established,  or  which  may  hereafter  be  established,  in  ac- 
cordance with  an  act  of  Congress  approved  July  second,  eighteen  hundred 
and  sixty-two,  the  sum  of  fifteen  thousand  dollars  for  the  year  ending 
Tune  thirtieth,  eighteen  hundred*  and  ninety,  and  an  annual  increase  of 
the  amount  of  such  appropriation  thereafter  for  ten  years  by  an  additional 
sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  over  the  preceding  year,  and  the  annual 
amount  to  be  paid  thereafter  to  each  State  and  Territory  shall  be  twenty- 
five  thousand  dollars,  to  be  applied  only  to  instruction  in  agriculture,  the 
mechanic  arts,  the  English  language,  and  the  various  branches  of  math- 
ematical, physical,  natural,  and  economic  sciences,  with  especial  reference 
to  their  application  in  the  industries  of  life,  and  to  facilities  for  such 
instruction." 

The  income  of  the  College  from  national  and  state  sources  is  therefore 
expended  in  instruction,  experimentation,  and  illustration  in  agriculture 
and  in  the  mechanic  arts,  and  in  the  underlying  and  related  sciences  and 
literature.  All  buildings  are  erected  and  all  repairs  thereon  are  made  by 
the  State  of  Iowa. 
•     The  college  property  is  valued  at  $4,846,716.11. 

LOCATION 

The  College  occupies  a  delightful  and  healthful  location  upon  high, 
rolling  land  in  the  west  part  of  Ames,  Story  County.  Situated  at  the 
junction  of  the  north  and  south  branch  and  the  main  double-track  line 
of  the  Chicago  &  Northwestern  Railroad,  and  connected  with  all  the  trunk 
lines  of  Iowa,  Ames  is  easily  accessible  from  all  parts  of  the  state.  An 
electric  railway  connects  Ames  and  the  College.  The  Fort  Dodge,  Des 
Moines  and  Southern  Railway  (electric)  with  stations  on  the  campus,  gives 
efficient  service  to  the  College  and  connections  with  the  following  trunk

lines :  At  Fort  Dodge,  with  the  Illinois  Central  and  Chicago-Great  West- 
ern ;  at  Huxley,  with  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul ;  at  Des  Moines, 
with  the  Chicago,  Rock  Island  &  Pacific,  the  Chicago-Great  Western,  and 
the  Chicago,  Burlington  &  Quincy. 

Ames  is  a  most  desirable  town  for  wholesome  college  influences.  Its 
people  are  thrifty,  enterprising,  and  cordial.  The  town  has  an  excellent 
system  of  public  schools,  numerous  churches,  waterworks,  and  electric 
lights,  and  it  also  has  a  good  city  government.  It  is  an  inviting  com- 
munity for  heads  of  families  who  wish  to  educate  their  children  and  enjoy 
a  good  environment  at  a  reasonable  expense.  Ames  and  the  College  are 
on  very  cordial  terms,  and  the  citizens  of  Ames  seek  to  promote  the  efforts 
of  the  students  and  the  highest  interests  of  the  College. 

GROUNDS 

Of  the  entire  College  domain  of  1,537  acres,  125  acres  are  set  apart  for 
College  grounds.  These  include  the  experimental  plots,  the  young  forestry 
plantations,  the  surroundings  of  professors'  dwellings,  and  the  central 
campus  with  its  beautiful  walks  and  drives,  its  trees,  shrubbery,  and 
flower  gardens,  and  its  large  and  stately  buildings.  The  true  principles 
of  landscape  gardening  have  been  so  faithfully  observed  in  the  gardening 
and  in  the  location  of  buildings  and  drives  as  to  make  the  entire  campus 
a  large  and  beautiful  park. 

BUILDINGS 

Fifty-five  commodious  buildings  besides  the  dwelling  houses  and  the 
buildings  for  farm  stock,  machinery,  and  work,  have  been  erected  by  the 
State  for  the  exclusive  use  of  the  various  departments  of  the  College. 
All  of  these  buildings  are  heated  by  steam,  lighted  by  electricity,  and  sup- 
plied with  pure  water. 

The  map  in  the  front  of  this  catalog  gives  a  list  of  the  buildings  and 
their  location  on  the  campus.

EMPLOYMENT  FOR  STUDENTS 

Although  this  institution  is  not  situated  in  a  large  center  where  there  is 
an  unlimited  amount  of  employment  for  students,  yet  there  are  a  large 
number  who  can  earn  a  part  of  their  expenses  here  at  College.  Very  few 
are  able  to  make  all  their  expenses,  and  no  young  man  should  come  expect- 
ing to  do  this  unless  he  has  made  definite  arrangements  previous  to  his 
coming. 

The  work  available  for  students  consists  of  employment  in  the  various 
departments,  such  as  office  work,  caring  for  stock,  helping  in  dairy,  green- 
houses, orchards,  shops,  or  janitor  work  about  the  buildings.  Consider- 
able work  for  students  is  also  obtained  in  the  business  houses  and  homes 
of  Ames ;  a  limited  number  find  employment  in  student  clubs  and  in  the 
cafeteria. 

The  Employment  Bureaus  are  managed  as  follows :  For  men,  by  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association.  Regular  work  for  women,  Miss 
Harwood,  Adviser  to  women ;  odd  hour  jobs  for  women,  the  Young 
Women's  Christian  Association.  The  heads  of  various  departments  are 
able  to  secure  employment  for  large  numbers  of  students  during  the  sum- 
mer vacation.  Such  positions  give  the  students  practical  work  that  is 
closely  related  to  the  instruction  given  in  college,  and  thereby  strengthens 
them  for  service  after  graduation. 

During  the  present  year  several  hundred  students  have  found  work 
through  the  Association  Employment  Bureaus.  It  is  suggested  that,  on 
account  of  the  heavy  laboratory  work  required  in  the  courses  here,  stu- 
dents should  not  come  expecting  to  put  in  too  much  time  in  labor.  Facts 
regarding  opportunity  for  work  at  the  College  can  be  had  by  writing 
Secretary,  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  or  Secretary,  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  or  Miss  Hazel  Har- 
wood. 

Manual  Labor 

The  following  regulations  in  regard  to  manual  labor  have  been  adopted 
by  the  Board  of  Education. 

1.  The  manual  labor  of  students  is  divided  into  two  kinds:  uninstructive 
labor,  which  shall  be  paid  for  in  money ;  and  instructive  labor,  which  shall 
be  compensated  by  the  instruction  given  and  the  skill  acquired. 

2.  Uninstructive  labor  shall  comprise  all  the  operations  in  the  work- 
shop, the  garden,  upon  the  farm,  and  elsewhere,  in  which  the  work  done 
accrues  to  the  benefit  of  the  College,  and  not  to  that  of  the  student.  In- 
structive labor  shall  embrace  all  those  operations  in  the  workshop,  museum, 
laboratories,  veterinary  hospital,  experimental  kitchen,  gardens,  experi- 
mental stations,  and  on  the  farm, — labor  in  which  the  sole  purpose  is  the 
acquisition  of  knowledge  and  skill. 

3.  Students  shall  engage  in  instructive  labor  in  the  presence  of  the 
professor  in  charge,  and  under  his  instruction  according  to  the  statement 
made  in  each  of  the  courses  of  study. 

The  compensated  labor  furnished  by  the  divisions  of  Agriculture,  of 
Veterinary  Medicine,  and  of  Engineering,  is  given  by  each  to  its  own 
students  and  is  eagerly  sought.  Compensated  labor  is  awarded  to  the  most 
faithful  and  meritorious  students  in  each  department.  This  labor  is  paid 
for  according  to  its  value  to  the  College,  but  no  student  should  expect  to 
pay  the  main  part  of  his  expenses  by  labor  while  here.  The  College  can- 
not furnish  the  work,  and,  even  if  it  could,  the  student's  time  is  needed 
chiefly  for  study.  Still,  many  worthy  and  industrious  students  pay  a  con- 
siderable part  of  their  expenses  by  labor ;  over  $25,000  is  paid  out  by  the 
College  thus  each  year  to  students  and  graduate  assistants. 


34  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 


HOSPITAL 


Sanitary  conditions  surrounding  the  College  are  excellent.  The  build- 
ings are  situated  on  high  ground  with  good  natural  drainage.  The  water 
supply  is  exceptionally  pure  and  abundant.  The  sewer  system  and  sewage 
disposal  plant  are  the  best  that  modern  sanitary  engineering  can  devise. 
Nevertheless  in  this,  as  in  other  like  institutions,  where  students  are  drawn 
from  a  wide  territory,  various  diseases  are  brought  by  the  students  them- 
selves. In  order  to  control  epidemics  and  properly  to  care  for  other  cases 
of  illness  or  injury,  a  hospital  is  provided.  A  new  hospital  of  45  beds 
capacity  with  a  large  dispensatory  and  all  modern  conveniences  has  been 
constructed.  In  connection  with  this  is  the  old  hospital  of  18  beds  for 
special  cases.  This  hospital  is  under  the  charge  of  the  Department  of 
Hygiene.  There  are  three  physicians,  six  registered  nurses,  a  competent 
housekeeper  and  helper,  and  two  student  hospital  assistants. 

The  expenses  of  the  hospital  are  defrayed  from  a  fund  accruing  from 
the  fees  paid  by  students.  The  privileges  of  the  hospital  are  extended  to 
all  students  who  pay  the  full  incidental  fee  of  $6.00  or  more  per  quarter, 
provided  that  the  physician  shall  be  paid  for  calls  at  their  residences.  Per- 
sons not  making  the  deposit  will  be  admitted  to  the  hospital  upon  the  basis 
of  a  charge  of  $21.00  a  week,  within  the  discretion  of  the  College  physi- 
cians. All  students  who  pay  the  full  regular  fee  are  insured  medical 
attendance,  nursing,  and  medicine,  in  illness  or  accident ;  and  consultation 
and  medicine  for  minor  ailments  in  accordance  with  the  regulations  here- 
in published.  The  charges  named  are  based  upon  the  probable  actual  cost 
of  medical  attention  and  hospital  service,  and  the  fund  created  is  care- 
fully devoted  to  these  purposes.  The  College  cannot  assume  any  liability 
beyond  the  extent  of  the  fund  so  created.  The  hospital  has  proved  to  be  a 
great  blessing  to  the  students. 

The  following  regulations  apply  to  the  privileges  of  the  hospital : 

1.  Students  entering  the  hospital  shall  be  charged  $8.50  a  week  ($1.25 
per  day)  for  board,  room,  light,  and  heat.  But  for  any  time  in  excess  of 
three  consecutive  weeks  spent  in  the  hospital,  a  charge  shall  be  made  o* 
$1.50  per  day. 

2.  In  case  a  special  nurse  or  physician  is  employed,  the  expense  shall  be 
borne  by  the  particular  patient,  the  selection  of  such  nurse  or  physician  to 
be  approved  by  the  President  of  the  College  and  the  College  Physicians. 

3.  The  College  assumes  no  responsibility  whatever  in  case  of  smallpox; 
nor  shall  the  privileges  of  the  hospital  be  extended  to  such  cases. 

4.  The  President  and  the  College  Physicians  may  require  of  students 
entering  the  College  a  certificate  of  a  reputable  physician  showing  success- 
ful vaccination.  On  account  of  prevalence  of  smallpox  in  some  localities 
in  the  United  States,  it  is  strongly  urged  that  all  students  entering  Iowa 
State  College  be  vaccinated  before  leaving  home.  This  is  recommended 
in  order  that  valuable  time  may  not  be  lost  during  the  college  year  by  the 
necessity  of  being  vaccinated. 

5.  The  College  physicians  are  authorized  to  exclude  from  the  College 
dormitories  and  recitation  rooms  any  person  afflicted  with  a  contagious 
disease. 

ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 

The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Iowa  State  College  was  organized  in 
1876.  Its  purpose  is  to  promote  the  highest  interests  of  the  institution  and 
to  increase  friendship  and  sympathy  among  students  and  alumni. 

The  present  officers  of  the  association  are : 

President,  M.  J.  Riggs,  '83,  Toledo,  Ohio. 

Vice-President,  Mark  G.  Thornburg,  '10,  Emmetsburg,  Iowa. 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  35 

Recording  Secretary,  Katherine  (Goble)  Gray,  '99,  Ames,  Iowa. 

Treasurer,  Herman  Knapp,  '83,  Ames,  Iowa. 

General  Secretary,  Ward  M.  Jones,  '97,  Ames,  Iowa. 

The  annual  meeting  and  banquet  is  held  commencement  week.  A  local 
association  was  organfzed  at  Ames  in  April,  1903,  in  order  to  arrange  the 
annual  meetings  and  to  keep  the  local  alumni  in  touch  with  one  another. 

Active  local  branches  of  the  general  association  exist  in  Southern  and 
Northern  California,  Washington,  D.  C,  Pittsburgh,  Chicago,  St.  Louis, 
Seattle,  Minneapolis  and  St.  Paul,  Omaha,  New  York  City,  Kansas  City, 
Detroit,  Spokane,  and  Oklahoma  City ;  in  the  state,  at  Des  Moines,  Sioux 
City,  Davenport,  Waterloo,  and  in  several  counties. 

The  Alumnus,  the  official  organ  of  the  association,  appears  monthly 
except  in  August  and  September.  It  is  under  the  supervision  of  the  gen- 
eral secretary. 

The  offices  of  the  association  are  on  the  second  floor  of  Alumni  Hall, 
where  all  alumni  and  ex-students  will  find  a  hearty  welcome. 

STUDENT   PUBLICATIONS 

The  Iowa  State  Student  is  a  tri-weekly  newspaper  published  by  a  staff 
appointed  from  the  student  body  and  devoted  to  the  news  of  the  College. 

The  Iowa  Agriculturist  is  an  agricultural  monthly  magazine  published 
by  the  students  of  the  Agricultural  Division,  in  cooperation  with  the  De- 
partment of  Agricultural  Journalism. 

The  Iowa  Engineer  is  published  monthly  by  the  students  of  the  En- 
gineering Division. 

The  Iowa  Home  Maker  is  a  home  magazine  published  monthly  by  the 
students  of  the  Home  Economics  Division.  . 

The  Bomb  is  an  annual  published  by  the  Junior  class. 

PUBLIC  SPEAKING  COUNCIL 

The  Public  Speaking  Council  is  an  organization  composed  of  three 
faculty  members  recommended  by  the  President  of  the  College  and 
appointed  by  the  Board  of  Education ;  and  one  representative  from  each 
of  the  ten  literary  societies,  the  sophomore,  the  junior,  and  senior  classes, 
and  the  Dramatic  Club.  The  Council  promotes  and  manages  all  dramatic 
and  public  speaking  activities  at  Iowa  State  College.  These  activities 
include  intersociety  and  intercollegiate  debates,  dramatic,  oratorical,  and 
extempore  speaking  contests,  joint  literary  society  programs,  literary  soci- 
ety graduation  exercises,  and  all  class  plays. 

Teams  of  three  members  from  each  of  the  societies  meet  in  two  series 
of  debates  during  the  fall  quarter.  In  the  spring  the  successive  winners 
meet  in  the  semi-final  and  final  debates  for  the  Kennedy  cup.  The  final 
winners  arc  awarded  the  cup  for  one  year,  and  the  name  of  their  society 
is  inscribed  upon  it.  This  series  of  debates  offers  excellent  training  for 
the  inter-collegiate  debates.  Iowa  State  College  is  a  member  of  three 
debating  leagues.  In  the  fall  two  debating  teams  of  three  students  meet 
Kansas  Agricultural  College;  in  the  spring,  Purdue  University,  Michigan 
Agricultural   College,  Wisconsin,  and  Minnesota. 

There  is  a  growing  interest  in  extemporaneous  speaking  in  Iowa  State 
College.  The  members  of  the  faculty  have  donated  to  the  Council  a 
trophy  to  be  awarded  annually  to  the  winner  of  the  extempore  speaking 
contest. 

The  sophomore,  junior,  senior,  inter-literary  society,  and  dramatic  club 
plays  offer  training  in  dramatics  to  a  great  many  students.  The  funds 
from  these'  plays  pay  a  large  part  of  the  expenses  of  public  speaking 
events.

LITERARY  SOCIETIES 

The  work  of  the  ten  literary  societies  serves  not  only  to  supplement 
the  social  and  literary  work  of  the  College,  but  also  to  aid  the  student  in 
securing  that  training  so  necessary  to  enable  him  to  appear  before  an 
audience,  that  training  which  every  student  needs  and  which  cannot  be 
secured  in  the  class  room  alone.  Every  student  is  invited,  even  urged,  to 
join  one  of  these  societies.

38  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

RELIGIOUS  LIFE  AT  THE  COLLEGE 

Orange  Howard  Cessna,  Chaplain 

Fred  C.  Hansen,  General  Secretary,  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Angelina  McKinley,  General  Secretary,  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

The  college  life  is  permeated  with  religious  influences.  The  following 
are  among  the  more  evident  moral  and  religious  forces  in  operation 
throughout  the  year: 

1.  The  Sunday  Morning  Chapel  Services  are  held  in  Agricultural 
Hall  auditorium  and  are  addressed  by  prominent  clergymen  of  all  denomi- 
nations who  accept  special  invitations  to  come  to  the  College  for  this 
purpose.  These  services  are  well  attended.  Often  the  hall  is  filled  to  its 
capacity  of  nearly  900.  An  attractive  feature  is  the  music  furnished  by  a 
choir  of  college  students. 

2.  The  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  are  quartered  in  Alumni  Hall 
on  the  campus  and  have  regular  secretaries.  Last  year  over  85%  of  the 
young  women  students  belonged  to  their  association.  The  associations 
conduct  Bible  classes  in  sororities,  fraternities,  and  boarding  houses. 
These  classes  are  well  attended.  Special  religious  services  are  held  under 
the  direction  of  prominent  Association  leaders. 

There  are  in  active  operation  a  Luther  League,  Brotherhood  of  St.  An- 
drew, Epworth  League,  Baptist  Young  People's  Union,  Christian  Endeavor 
Societies,  and  a  Catholic  Students'  Association. 

3.  College  Pastors.  Four  churches  now  maintain  college  pastors  at 
Ames,  the  Methodist,  the  Presbyterian,  the  Congregational,  and  Episcopal. 
These  men  work  in  conjunction  with  their  churches  and  with  the  religious 
organizations  on  the  campus.     They  are  exerting  a  helpful  influence. 

4.  There  are  ten  different  denominational  churches  in  Ames,  all  of 
which  are  in  touch  with  the  students,  who  are  cordially  invited  to  take 
part  in  all  religious  services. 

Geneva  Scholarship 

The  Faculty  Women's  Club  contributes  $35  towards  the  expenses  of  a 
delegate  to  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Central  Student  Conference  at  Lake  Geneva. 
This  fund  is  awarded  the  third  quarter  of  the  Sophomore  year  by  a  com- 
mittee from  the  club.  Scholarship,  accomplishment  in  Y.  W.  C.  A.  work, 
interest  in  general  college  activities,  and  personality  are  the  points  con- 
sidered in  making  the  award.  » 

LIBRARY   REGULATIONS 

The  general  library  is  primarily  for  free  reference  use;  any  student  or 
citizen  of  the  state  may  use  the  books  in  the  reading  rooms.  The  privilege 
of  drawing  books  for  use  outside  the  building  is  accorded  to  all  members 
of  the  instruction  force,  to  all  registered  students,  and  to  other  accredited 
persons.  Books  in  the  general  library  not  reserved  for  clashes  may  be 
borrowed  for  home  use  for  two  weeks  and  may  be  renewed  for  two  weeks 
more  if  not  specially  restricted  or  called  for.  All  books  are  subject  to 
recall  any  time  when  needed  for  college  work. 

General  reference  books,  all  general  periodicals,  and  certain  other  groups 
of  books  are  to  be  consulted  in  the  reading  rooms  only. 

Books  from  the  stacks  which  are  not  returned  on  time  are  subject  to  a 
fine  of  10c  a  day  after  notice  has  been  sent  that  the  book  is  due.  Books 
from  the  Reserve  shelves  are  subject  to  a  fine  of  50c  for  each  hour  kept 
overtime. 

Books  recalled  for  college  work  must  be  returned  at  once  upon  receipt 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  39 

of  the  notice.  If  not  returned  within  two  days  after  the  notice  is  mailed 
a  fine  of  25c  a  day  is  charged.  All  books  lost  or  damaged  must  be  paid 
for.  Books  not  at  the  time  needed  at  the  college,  or  not  subject  to  special 
restrictions,  may  be  loaned  for  a  limited  period  to  other  libraries  or  to 
alumni  of  the  college. 

Hours  for  Opening.  The  general  library  is  open  week  days  during 
the  general  sessions  of  the  college  from  7:50  a.m.  to  9:30  p.m.,  and  on 
Sundays  from  2  p.  m.  to  5  p.  m.  During  the  Summer  Session  the  library  is 
open  from  8  a.  m.  to  6  p.  m.,  and  7  to  9  p.  m.,  but  is  not  open  on  Sundays. 
During  the  summer  vacation  the  library  is  open  from  9-12  a.  m.  and  from 
1-4  p.  m. 

Permits  may  be  given  to  members  of  the  faculty  for  use  at  other  times. 
The  library  is  regularly  closed  on  New  Years,  Independence,  Thanksgiv- 
ing, and  Christmas  days.  The  hours  of  opening  of  the  department  libra- 
ries differ  somewhat  from  those  given  above.

Admission  to  College 


Every  student  entering  college  must  file  an  official  statement  of  his 
previous  educational  work.  Applications  for  credential  blanks  and  all 
communications  in  regard  to  admission  should  be  addressed  to  the 
Eegistrar.  Official  high  school  records  should  be  filed  with  the  Eegistrar 
at  the  close  of  the  school  year,  if  possible,  and  not  later  than  the  first 
Monday  in  September,  December,  or  March.  The  Eegistrar  will  evaluate 
all  credentials  and  will  notify  the  applicant  of  their  acceptance.  He 
will  also  assign  the  applicant  to  his  position  in  the  course  desired.  Con- 
tinuance in  such  assignment  will  be  conditioned  upon  the  student's  do- 
ing creditable  work. 

Applicants  for  admission  to  all  collegiate  courses  should  be  at  least 
sixteen  years  of  age. 

Students  may  enter  the  College  at  the  beginning  of  any  quarter.  Those 
wishing  to  come  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  or  third  quarter  should 
inquire  from  the  Eegistrar  whether  entrance  at  that  time  is  feasible  in 
their  cases.  The  regular  classes  begin  with  the  opening  in  September 
and  the  students  are  urged  to  enter  at  that  time.  Some  Freshman  sub- 
jects are,  however,  begun  in  each  quarter.  The  College  desires  to  em- 
phasize the  importance  of  thorough  preparation,  particularly  in  subjects 
that  are  to  be  continued  in  College.  Since  satisfactory  progress  is  im- 
possible without  thorough  preparation,  students  are  urged  to  review 
carefully,  before  entering  College,  algebra  through  quadratics  and 
English  composition  and  grammar.  Those  desiring  admission  should 
examine  Requirements  for  Admission,  below. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  ADMISSION 

Definition  of  a  Unit 

The  requirements  for  admission  are  stated  in  terms  of  units.  A  unit  is 
defined  as  the  equivalent  of  one  high  school  study  satisfactorily  pursued 
during  one  school  year,  at  least  thirty-six  weeks  in  length,  on  the  basis 
of  five  recitations  a  week,  the  course  of  study  for  which  the  student  is 
registered  requiring  no  more  than  four  studies  or  twenty  recitation 
periods  a  week.  The  length  of  the  recitation  period  shall  be  at  least 
forty  minutes  and  the  laboratory  period  shall  be  twice  this  length.  A 
unit  is  equivalent  to  two  semester  credits. 

PRE-TECHNICAL  WORK 

The  following  studies  are  prerequisites  to  the  collegiate  courses  out- 
lined in  this  catalogue. 

For  the  Divisions  of  Agriculture,  Engineering,  Home  Economics,  In- 
dustrial Science  and  Veterinary  Medicine,  viz.:

following  exception:  a  minimum  of  one-third  unit  is  ac- 
cepted for  work  done  in  high  schools  organized  on  the  basis 
of  a  four  term  year  of  twelve  weeks  each;  this  does  not 
reduce  the  minimum  credit  demanded  in  subjects  requiring 
not  less  than  one  unit  of  entrance  credit. 

c.  No  credit  for  English  Grammar,  United  States  History, 
or  Arithmetic  unless  taken  in  the  third  or  fourth  year  of

language. 


12  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

Pre-technical  Subjects  Taught  by  the  College 

For  the  benefit  of  students  who  are  not  qualified  to  enter  directly 
upon  the  technical  courses  leading  to  Baccalaureate  degrees,  certain 
general  instruction  of  a  preliminary  character  is  offered.  This  is  in- 
tended primarily  to  help  those  who  have  graduated  from  high  schools 
but  who  have  not  sufficient  general  instruction  to  take  up  at  once  the 
work  required  in  the  technical  courses.  Such  students  may  take  any 
subjects  which  they  are  qualified  to  carry  and  which  will  round  out  in 
a  fitting  way  their  preparation  for  a  technical  course.  Credit  earned 
to  remove  entrance  deficiencies  will  not  be  applied  toward  graduation. 

METHODS  OP  ADMISSION 
1.     Admission  of  Graduates  of  IOWA  HIGH  SCHOOLS 

A  graduate  of  a  public  four-year  high  school  in  Iowa,  who  presents 
fifteen  units  of  work,  will  be  admitted  without  examination  to  such  col- 
legiate work  as  he  is  prepared  to  pursue,  upon  presenting  a  certificate 
signed  by  the  Superintendent  or  the  Principal,  specifying  the  branches 
of  study  and  credits  included  within  his  high  school  course  of  study. 
A  graduate  of  any  private  four-year  high  school,  seminary,  or  academy 
approved  by  the  Board  on  Secondary  School  Eelations  will  be  admitted 
on  the  same  basis. 

If  a  high  school  graduate  does  not  meet  present  admission  require- 
ments to  the  course  he  desires  to  pursue  the  deficiency  must  be  removed 
by  studies  taken  at  the  College.  Credit  earned  in  removing  such  de- 
ficiencies will  not  be  applied  toward  graduation  in  the  specific  course 
chosen.     See  Pre-technical  Subjects  above. 

2.  Admission  from  Other  Secondary  Schools 

A  student  presenting  a  certificate  from  a  secondary  school  not  described 
under  1  above,  may  be  admitted  to  collegiate  courses  by  the  following 
plan: 

(a)  He  must  pass  entrance  examinations  in  subjects  representing  each 
of  the  main  groups  of  subjects  certified,  for  one-third  of  the  num- 
ber of  acceptable  credits  so  certified. 

(b)  The  subjects  for  examination  are  to  be  selected  by  the  examiner 
at  the  time  of  the  examination  and  irrespective  of  the  choice  of 
the  student. 

(c)  The  total  number  of  credits  allowed  on  the  certificate  shall  not 
exceed  three  times  the  number  earned  by  examination. 

(d)  The  total  amount  of  credit  gained  by  examination  and  certificate 
must  at  least  equal  the  requirements  for  admission  as  stated  on 
page  9. 

3.     Admission  to  Graduates  of  High  Schools  in  Other  States 

Graduates  of  high  schools  accredited  by  the  state  universities  or  other 
state  accrediting  agencies  will  be  admitted  by  certificate.  High  school 
graduates,  whose  certificates  would  be  accepted  without  examination  by 
reputable  colleges  in  the  state  in  which  they  are  located,  provided  these 
states  have  no  accrediting  system,  will  be  admitted  by  certificate.  Gradu- 
ates of  other  schools  will  be  required  to  take  entrance  examinations. 

4.    Admission  to  Non-graduates  of  High  Schools 

The  student  not  a  graduate  presenting  credits  from  a  public  four-year 
high  school  or  a  private  four-year  high  school,  academy,  or  seminary, 
approved  by  the  Board  of  Secondary  School  Eelations: 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  IS 

(A)  Such  student  will  not  be  admitted  unless  he  presents  as  many  as 
fourteen  (14)  acceptable  units  by  certificate,  examination,  or  both  cer- 
tificate and  examination;  and  he  is  to  be  conditioned  in  enough  units 
to  bring  the  number  up  to  fifteen  (15)  units.  These  units  must  be  dis- 
tributed according  to  specified  list  of  units  found  under  pre-technical 
work  on  page  S. 

(B)  Entrance  conditions  must  be  removed  within  one  calendar  year 
after  the  student's  admission,  or  before  he  registers  for  his  second  year's 
work;  and  the  student  is  to  be  registered  at  once  for  the  work  in  which 
he  is  deficient  as  a  part  of  the  normal  amount  of  work  allowed  to  stu- 
dents. If,  however,  he  shows  by  the  end  of  the  first  quarter  that  he  is  an 
unusually  capable  student,  he  may  be  permitted  under  the  faculty  regula- 
tions to  carry  more  than  normal  schedule  during  the  following  quarter. 

(C)  A  student  admitted  with  conditions  is  not  to  be  permitted  to 
remove  these  conditions  within  the  allotted  one  year  by  taking  entrance 
examinations  in  subjects  in  which  he  has  been  taking  college  courses 
for  credit. 

If  a  student  presenting  the  required  entrance  credit  in  a  given  subject 
fails  to  do  satisfactory  work  in  the  succeeding  college  course  in  that 
subject,  he  is  not  to  be  assigned  to  a  pre-technical  course  in  the  subject 
with  a  view  of  securing  college  credit  for  such  pre-technical  course. 

6.    Admission  by  Examination  and  on  Other  Evidences  of  Proficiency- 
Students  who  desire  to  enter  by  examination  and  who  present  satis- 
factory evidence  that  they  have  devoted  sufficient  time  to  preparation, 
will  be  given  examinations  in  any  subject  required  for  entrance. 

Students  desiring  to  enter  by  examination  will  be  expected  to  pass 
examinations  in  the  required  and  elective  subjects,  according  to  work 
outlined  on  pages  9  to  12. 

COLLEGE  ENTRANCE  EXAMINATIONS 

Certificates  of  entrance  examinations  passed  for  admission  to  reputable 
universities  and  colleges,  and  certificates  of  examination  passed  under  the 
direction  of  any  of  the  College  Entrance  Examination  Boards  and  the 
Regents  of  the  State  of  New  York,  may  be  accepted  as  are  accepted  the 
certificates  from  our  own  accredited  schools. 

ACADEMIES  AND  PREPARATORY  SCHOOLS 

Credits  certified  from  private  secondary  schools  such  as  academies  and 
seminaries,  and  from  college  preparatory  schools,  shall  be  estimated  in 
accordance  with  the  definition  of  the  entrance  unit  and  on  the  standard 
of  four  years  of  preparation  and  residence.  College  academies  or  pre- 
paratory departments  conforming  in  their  organization  with  the  organi- 
zation of  the  four-year  accredited  high  school  shall  be  treated  as  ac- 
credited schools,  if  the  colleges  themselves  are  iegarded  as  standard 
colleges. 

TEACHERS '   CERTIFICATES 

A  certain  number  of  entrance  units  may  be  granted  upon  the  basis  of 
a  First  Grade  Jniform  County  Certificate  for  subjects  marked  85%  or

Third,  it  is  required  that  all  credits  from  other  colleges  be  sent  by  the 
proper  officers  of  %uch  institutions,  duly  certified,  to  the  Eegistrar  of  this 
College;  such  certificates  to  include  number  of  weeks  the  student  has 
pursued  the  studies  in  question  and  the  number  of  hours'  credit  received 
in  each  quarter  or  semester,  as  well  as  the  portion  of  the  subject  covered. 

No  credits  shall  be  accepted  from  any  high  school  or  academy  for 
regular  four-year  college  work.  It  is  the  privilege  of  any  student  to  ask 
for  and  receive  examination  in  any  subject  taught  in  any  department  of 
the  College,  provided  that  he  can  show  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  head

Students  from  other  colleges. 

Work  of  recognized  merit  that  has  been  taken  in  colleges  and  univer- 
sities of  good  rank  and  standing  will  be  credited  for  an  equivalent 
amount  of  work  so  far  as  it  applies  in  any  course  offered  in  this  College. 

Such  students  should  send  official  records  of  their  work  to  the  advanced 
standing  committee  at  the  office  of  the  Eegistrar  not  later  than  Septem- 
ber 1st  to  ascertain  the  credits  to  be  allowed.  It  will  be  understood  be- 
tween the  applicant  and  the  committee  that  the  credits  are  only  pro- 
visionally accepted  and  that  their  final  acceptance  depends  wholly  upon 
the  student's  maintaining  a  good  average  standing  for  one  year.

College  herein  established  shall  be  forever  free  to  pupils  from  the  state 
over  sixteen  years  of  age,  who  have  been  residents  of  this  state  six 
months  previous  to  their  admission." 

To  non-resident  students  a  tuition  fee  of  $17.00  per  quarter  is  charged.

regarded  as  a  loan.    If  a  student  who  receives  this  aid  is  able  to  return 

1  the  amount  in  later  years,  it  will   be  credited   to  his   accounts   on   the

Incidental  and  Janitor  Tees:  The  regular  incidental  and  janitor  fee 
for  the  quarter  is  $6.00  for  all  students  who  complete  their  classification 
during  the  regular  classification  period.  Beginning  with  the  first  day 
on  which  classes  are  held,  the  fee  for  college  students  will  be  $8.00  plus 
$1.00  additional  for  each  day  thereafter  until  the  classification  is  com- 
pleted. This  fee  is  used  as  follows:  hospital,  $2.00;  students'  repair 
fund,  $1.00;  incidental  and  janitor  service,  balance.  Students  who

janitor  fee,  may  pay  the  hospital  fee  of  $2.00,  and  50c  per  credit  hour 
for  the  hours  or  fraction  of  hours  work  taken. 

Physical  Training  Pee:  All  men  students,  (except  those  in  Graduate 
College)  are  required  to  pay  a  fee  of  $1.00  per  quarter.  This  fee  en- 
titles the  student  to  the  general  use  of  the  gymnasium  including  the 
lockers  and  shower  baths.  (Men  who  are  required  to  classify  in  Physical 
Training  shall  pay  a  fee  of  $1.00  per  quarter  in  addition  to  this  fee). 

Withdrawing  from  College:  If  a  student  severs  his  connection  with 
the  College,  he  shall  obtain  an  order  to  settle  from  the  Registrar,  Room 
114  Central  Building,  which  order  shall  be  filed  with  the  Treasurer. 
The  refund  will  be  made  at  the  close  of  the  quarter.

usage  are  charged  to  the  students,  the  Treasurer's  receipt  for  such  fees 
being  required  before  the  students  are  admitted  to  laboratories.  For  the 
amount  of  the  fee  in  any  study,  see  description  of  the  study  under  its 
department.  All  refunds  on  laboratory  fees  will  be  made  at  the  close  of 
the  quarter. 

Diploma  Fee:     A  diploma  fee  of  $5.00  is  payable  before  graduation. 

Exemption  from  Pees:  All  honorably  discharged  soldiers  and  sailors 
•of  the  World  War  shall  be  exempt  from  fees  to  the  amount  of  $40  per 
year,  said  amount  to  be  divided  as  follows:  $6.00  incidental  and  janitor 
fee  and  $1.00  general .  physical  training  fee  for  each  quarter,  and  a 
rebate  of  $6.33  per  quarter  on  laboratory  fees,  this  rebate  to  be  made 
at  the  end  of  the  quarter.  The  State  law  makes  this  exemption  effective 
until  July  1,  1923.  Students  claiming  this  exemption  shall  show  their 
discharge  papers  at  the  Treasurer's  office  when  they  enter  college. 

Board  and  Rooms  for  Men:  The  room  bureau  for  men  is  handled  by 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association.  A  faculty  committee  known 
as  the  Committee  on  Student  Accommodations  supervises  the  work  of 
the  bureau.  The  average  price  of  rooms  at  present  is  as  follows:  Where 
two  occupy  a  room,  $2.50  to  $3.00  for  each  occupant  per  week.  Where 
one  occupies  a  room  the  price  ranges  from  $4.00  to  $6.00  per  week.  A 
few  rooms  are  lower  than  the  price  here  stated  and  a  few  are  higher, 
but  the  above  price  is  the  average.  Board,  at  the  time  this  goes  to 
press,  averages  about  $6.00  per  week.  The  average  price  of  room  and 
board  is,  therefore,  about  $8.50  to  $9.00  per  week.  Rooms  may  be 
secured  by  addressing  the  Secretary  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Iowa  State 
College,  Ames,  Iowa.  New  students  are  advised  to  secure  their  rooms 
before  arrival.  Board  usually  has  to  be  arranged  for  by  the  student 
after  reaching  Ames. 

For  the  information  of  students  and  others  interested,  the  Student 
Accommodation    Committee    has   prepared   a    standard   set    of   rules   for 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICIN  E3  17 

"houses  furnishing  room  or  board  to  students.  The  Committee  reserves 
the  right  to  forbid  students  to  room  in  houses  which  do  not  meet  the 
standard  requirements.  Copies  of  the  regulations  may  be  obtained  by 
application  to  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  the  President's  office,  or  the  Chairman 
•of  the  Student  Accommodation  Committee. 

Text  Books:  All  text  books  and  stationery  may  be  purchased  at  the 
College  Book  Store  at  about  20  per  cent  below  the  average  retail  price. 

Freshman  Expenses 

Taking  into  consideration  the  items  named  under  Fees  and  Expenses, 
the  following  is  an  approximate  estimate  of  the  expenses  of  a  Freshman 
for  each  of  the  three  quarters  of  the  College  year: 

Minimum  Maximum 

Amount  Amount 

Board   (12  weeks) $60.00  $96.00 

Room  rent  (12  weeks— 2  in  a  room)., 24.00  42.00 

Laundry   12.00  18.00 

Incidental  and  janitor  fee 6.00  8.00 

Laboratory   fees 10.00  18.00 

Books  and  equipment 15.00  30.00 

Note :  Prospective  Freshmen  should  carefully  consider  the  cost  of  the  first  year. 
No  one  should  think  of  entering  college  unless  he  has  money  enough  in  his  own 
right  or  from  friends  to  meet  his  expenses  in  large  part  for  his  Freshman  year. 
If  he  goes  out  of  his  Freshman  year  in  debt,  he  is  quite  sure  to  be  seriously  em- 
barrassed for  the  remainder  of  his  college  course.  Provision  should  be  made  to 
meet  college  bills  with  the  same  business-like  promptness  with  which  one  expects 
to  meet  other  bills. 

All  men  pay  a  general  Physical  Training  fee  of  $1.00  per  quarter. 

Members  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  will  have  their  uniforms  furnished  by  the 
government.  All  other  students  will  receive  information  as  to  prices 
from  the  commanding  officer  of  the  Military  department. 

In  addition  to  these  items,  at  the  beginning  of  the  Freshman  year  each 
man  student  will  be  required  to  purchase  a  gymnasium  suit  for  $5.00; 
:and  each  woman  student  a  gymnasium  suit  for  $7.50. 

The  student  is  also  advised  to  purchase  a  student's  activities  ticket 
and  to  pay  class  dues. 

The  military  and  gymnasium  suits  and  drawing  equipment  will  be 
serviceable  for  the  entire  course. 

If  a  student  is  a  non-resident  of  the  state  $17.00  per  quarter  should 
be  added  for  tuition. 

The  incidental  and  janitor  fee,  laboratory  fees,  books  and  equipment, 
gymnasium  outfit,  and  some  payment  toward  room  rent  and  board  are 
required  in  advance. 

Classification  and  Standing 

Junior  and  Senior  College:  The  students  are  classified  in  Junior  and 
Senior  colleges.  The  Junior  college  is  composed  of  all  students  in  the 
Freshman  and  Sophomore  years;  the  Senior  college,  of  all  students  in 
the  Junior  and  Senior  years. 

Amount  of  "Work:  The  amount  of  work  in  each  course  is  expressed 
in  credits,  a  credit  meaning  one  recitation  a  week,  or  its  equivalent, 
throughout  the  quarter.  It  is  considered  that  a  one-hour  recitation  or 
lecture  will  require  as  much  time  including  preparation  as  a  three-hour 
laboratory,  and  therefore  it  is  given  the  same  credit.  Any  two-hour 
laboratory  period  is  equivalent  to  two-thirds  of  a  three-hour  laboratory. 


18  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

Number  of  Credits:  No  student  shall  classify  in  more  than  the  maxi- 
mum number  of  hours  allowed  in  his  course  unless  by  his  previous  record 
he  has  shown  exceptional  ability.  In  no  case  shall  he  be  classified  in 
more  than  twenty  hours.  The  student  will  be  allowed  to  drop  such  extra 
work  only  upon  permission  of  the  classifying  Dean;  he  will  be  required 
to  drop  it  in  case  this  or  any  other  work  in  his  schedule  is  being  carried 
unsatisfactorily.  A  "condition"  or  a  "not  pass"  secured  in  such  extra 
work  shall  stand  as  a  record,  and  shall  be  considered  in  choosing  frater- 
nity members,  but  an  elective  shall  not  be  held  against  the  student  for 
graduation. 

In  general,  students  failing  in  any  portion  of  a  quarter's  work  will 
not  be  allowed  to  take  full  classification  for  the  next  quarter. 

Classification:  No  student  shall  be  admitted  to  any  class  or  dropped 
from  it,  except  by  authority  of  the  classifying  officer. 

Conflicts:  Students  shall  not  classify  in  conflicting  studies  without 
the  approval  of  the  departments  concerned. 

Standings:  All  the  standings  are  based  on  the  scale  of  100.  The 
passing  grade  is  75.  A  student  receiving  from  60  to  74  per  cent  inclusive 
in  any  course  is  conditioned,  and  allowed  to  make  up  the  condition  under 
the  direction  of  the  head  of  the  department. 

Back  Studies:  Students  shall  be  classified  in  back  studies  in  all  cases 
in  which  such  studies  are  taught,  subject  to  the  first  rule  under  Number 
of  Credits.  Any  exception  to  this  rule  must  be  for  good  and  sufficient 
reason,  approved  by  the  classifying  Dean. 

Changing  Course:  A  student  will  not  be  permitted  to  change  from 
one  course  to  another  who  has  a  "condition"  or  "not  pass"  in  a  sub- 
ject not  common  to  the  two  courses;  or  if  he  has  more  than  one  "con- 
dition" or  "not  pass"  in  subjects  common  to  the  two  courses. 

Senior  Year:  No  student  shall  be  considered  a  candidate  for  gradu- 
ation who  at  the  beginning  of  the  Spring  quarter  of  the  Senior  year  has 
more  than  twenty  hours  of  work  to  complete  his  course  of  study.  If  the 
uncompleted  work  is  not  included  in  the  student's  classification  for  the 
Spring  quarter,  it  shall  be  passed  and  reported  to  the  Registrar  not  later 
than  April  first. 


Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine 

Dean  Stange,  Veterinary  Building 
Vice  Dean  Bemis,  Veterinary  Building 

The  division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  offers  the  following  courses: 

Four-year  Course:     Veterinary  Medicine  p.   21 

Six-year  Course :     Animal  Husbandry  and  Veterinary  Medicine  p.   22 

Six-year  Course:     Science  and  Veterinary  Medicine  p.  24 

The  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  offers  a  four-year  course  leading 
to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine,  and  combined  six-year 
courses  with  either  the  Division  of  Industrial  Science  or  the  Department 
of  Animal  Husbandry,  and  leading  to  both  B.  Sc.  and  D.  V.  M.  degrees. 
The  Veterinary  Division  consists  of  five  educational  departments,  the 
head  of  each  department  being  a  man  of  broad  experience  in  the  parti- 
cular branches  of  medical  science  which  the  department  represents. 

The  following  departments  are  included  in  the  Division: 

Department  of  Anatomy  p.  25 

Department  of  Pathology  p.  27 

Department  of  Physiology  and  Pharmacology  p.  28 

Department  of  Medicine  p.  26 

Department  of  Surgery  ....' p.  29 

The  faculty  of  the  Division  of  Veterinary  Medicine  consists  of  the 
Dean  of  the  Division,  together  with  the  professors  at  the  head  of  de- 
partments, the  associate  and  assistant  professors  in  the  departments, 
and  instructors.  Eepresentatives  (to  the  number  indicated)  of  the  fol- 
lowing departments  outside  of  the  Veterinary  Division,  in  which  the 
veterinary  students  do  a  part  of  their  work,  are  considered  members  of 
the  veterinary  faculty:  Chemistry  (1),  Botany  (1),  Animal  Husbandry 
(1),  Dairying  (1),  English  and  Economic  Science   (1),  and  Zoology  (1). 

Aside  from  the  strictly  educational  departments  in  the  Division,  there 
is  also  the  Department  of  Research  in  Animal  Diseases,  which  gives  the 
student  rare  opportunity  to  observe  those  phases  of  veterinary  science 
in  which  this  department  is  engaged. 

Aside  from  the  facilities  which  belong  especially  to  the  Veterinary 
Division,  the  equipment  for  instruction  in  Animal  Husbandry,  consisting 
of  large  flocks  and  herds  of  carefully  selected  breeds  of  live  stock,  helps 
to  render  practical  instruction  very  efficient.  The  most  perfect  types  of 
the  different  breeds  are  used  for  class  work.  In  this  way  the  work  in 
Veterinary  Medicine  is  linked  with  that  in  Agriculture,  an  arrangement 
which  proves  to  be  of  inestimable  value  to  veterinarians.  The  fact  that 
the  College  is  located  in  the  richest  live  stock  country  in  the  world  pro- 
vides a  rare  opportunity  for  the  veterinary  student  to  study  this  phase 
of  animal  industry;  it  also  enables  him  to  observe  a  wealth  of  clinical 
cases  both  at  the  College  Hospital,  and  under  general  practice  conditions 
by  means  of  the  Ambulatory  Clinic. 

Work  in  Botany,  Chemistry,  Zoology,  and  other  related  sciences  is 
adequately  provided  for  in  the  special  buildings  for  the  accommodation 
of  these  several  departments  of  college  work.  Each  branch  of  study  is 
presented  to  the  student  by  a  specialist. 

Candidates  for  graduation  must  be  twenty-one  years  of  age,  of  good 


20  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

moral  and  professional  character,  and  must  have  passed  examinations  in- 
all  the  required  subjects  in  the  course,  to  secure  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Veterinary  Medicine. 

The  following  are  a  few  of  the  many  openings  available  to  graduates: 

General  Practice:  In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  national  live  stock 
valuation  is  estimated  at  $10,000,000,000,  it  becomes  obvious  that  the- 
graduate  possessing  fitness  and  aptitude  for  live  stock  work  will  meet 
with  a  ready  demand  and  receive  substantial  compensation  for  his 
services. 

Bureau  of  Animal  Industry:  Veterinarians  are  in  demand  for  in- 
spection work  in  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture,  at  salaries  ranging  from  $1,400  to  $2,500. 

Army  Veterinary  Service:  Excellent  opportunities  are  now  offered 
to  young  veterinarians  in  the  United  States  Army.  The  Army  Veteri- 
nary Corps  is  organized  as  a  part  of  the  Medical  Department  of  the 
Army,  and  army  veterinarians  receive  the  rank,  pay,  and  allowances  of 
commissioned  army  officers,  entering  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant  at 
$1,700  per  year,  with  excellent  opportunity  for  advancement  in  rank, 
with  corresponding  increases  in  salary  and  allowances.  These  positions 
are  very  desirable,  and  include  a  wide  range  of  professional  work. 

Municipal  and  State  Work:  Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  larger  cities. 
are  rapidly  inaugurating  systems  of  milk  and  meat  inspection,  there 
is  an  increasing  demand  for  competent  veterinarians  drilled  in  Bacteriol- 
ogy and  Pathology.  A  large  number  of  state  positions  are  also  open, 
on  account  of  the  rigid  laws  governing  inter-state  shipment  of  live  stock 
which  are  being  enacted  by  the  various  states. 

Sanitation:  The  value  of  the  educated  veterinarian  as  a  sanitarian  is 
being  recognized  and  positions  are  open  in  this  field. 

Education  and  Research:  The  demand  for  men  capable  of  doing  in- 
vestigation work  in  animal  diseases,  associated  work  in  connection  with 
State  Experiment  Stations,  and  of  filling  various  teaching  positions  in 
agricultural  and  veterinary  colleges,  has  been  greater  than  the  supply. 

Commercial  Work:  The  lines  of  commercial  work  which  demand 
trained  veterinarians  are  increasing  yearly.  These  include  positions  with 
railway  companies,  live  stock  concerns,  in  biological  laboratories,  pharma- 
ceutical houses,  etc.  The  demand  for  qualified  veterinarians  exceeds  the 
supply,  and  many  graduates  go  directly  from  college  to  positions  pay- 
ing $150  per  month  and  upward.

IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 


Course  in  Industrial  Science  and  Veterinary  Medicine  (six  years) 

Leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  and  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Veterinary  Medicine. 

The  following  course  is  designed  to  meet  the  need  of  the  students  who 
wish  to  secure  a  thorough  foundation  in  the  biological  and  chemical 
sciences  preliminary  to  the  studying  of  veterinary  medicine.  The  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Science  is  granted  at  the  end  of  the  fourth  year,  and  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine  upon  the  completion  of  the 
sixth  year.  The  increased  time  at  the  disposal  of  the  student  gives  an 
opportunity  to  prepare  himself  efficiently  for  investigational  work. 

At  the  present  time  the  better  colleges  granting  degrees  in  human 
medicine  require  two  years  of  collegiate  preparation.  Veterinary  Medi- 
cine is  quite  as  exacting  in  its  requirements  of  students,  particularly 
those  who  wish  to  go  into  governmental  or  research  work.  The  oppor- 
tunities open  to  students  well  grounded  both  in  science  and  in  veterinary 
medicine  are  excellent.  Many  positions  in  the  Bureau  of  Animal  In- 
dustry of  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  in  the  experiment  stations  of 
our  land  grant  colleges,  and  in  the  teaching  staffs  of  our  various  veteri- 
nary schools  and  agricultural  colleges,  are  opened  every  year.  It  has 
been  in  the  past  practically  impossible  to  secure  men  with  the  right 
training.     This  course  is  designed  to  train  men  for  such  positions. 

For  pre-technical  studies  required  for  this  course,  see  page  8.

DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  25 

THIRD  AND  FOURTH  YEARS 

The  student  will  classify  with  the  Dean  of  Veterinary  Medicine  as  a 
Senior  college  student  in  Industrial  Science  and  Veterinary  Medicine. 
In  the  quarter  in  which  he  completes  the  requirements  for  the  Bachelor's 
degree,  he  shall  also  register  with  the  Dean  of  Industrial  Science.  He 
shall  outline  his  course  of  study,  guided  by  the  following  rules: 

1.  A  minimum  of  18  hours  per  quarter  shall  be  carried. 

2.  All  subjects  of  the  Freshman  and  Sophomore  years  of  the  four- 
year  course  in  veterinary  medicine  not  already  taken  shall  be  completed 

(excepting  Chemistry  511,  821,  822,  and  Zoology  la,  lb). 

3.  English  4.41  or  English  442  and  at  least  fifteen  hours  of  free  elect- 
ives,  i.  e.,  subjects  not  required  of  students  pursuing  the  four-year  course 
in  Veterinary  Medicine,  shall  be  completed. 

The  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  will  be  conferred  upon  fulfillment 
•of  the  preceding  requirements. 

FIFTH  AND  SIXTH  YEARS 

The  student  will  classify  with  the  Dean  of  Veterinary  Medicine  as  a 
Senior  college  student  in  Veterinary  Medicine.  He  shall  outline  his 
course  in  conformity  with  the  following  requirements: 

1.  A  minimum  of  18  hours  per  quarter  shall  be  carried. 

2.  All  subjects  of  the  Junior  and  Senior  years  of  the  four-year  course 
in  Veterinary  Medicine  shall  be  completed. 

3.  Free  electives  shall  be  chosen  to  fill  the  number  of  credit  hours 
to  the  required  18. 

The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Veterinary  Medicine  will  be  conferred  upon 
the  fulfillment  of  the  preceding  requirements. 

Short  Course  for  Practitioners  in  Veterinary  Medicine 

It  is  proposed  to  arrange  the  course  so  that  practitioners  may  spend 
a  few  days  at  Ames  and  get  the  latest  and  best  that  is  being  made 
available  in  any  state  or  country. 

Definition  of  a  Credit:  The  amount  of  work  in  each  study  is  expressed 
in  credits,  a  credit  meaning  one  recitation  or  its  equivalent  a  week 
throughout  the  quarter.  It  is  considered  that  a  one-hour  recitation  or 
lecture  will  require  as  much  time  including  preparation  as  a  three-hour 
laboratory,  and  therefore  should  be  given  the  same  credit.  Any  two- 
hour  laboratory  period  is  equivalent  to  two-thirds  of  a  credit. 

Study  Numbers:  In  each  department  the  studies,  for  convenience  of 
reference,  are  given  in  numerical  order.

All  cadavers  are  preserved.  Students  in  Animal  Husbandry  prepare  for 
their  work  in  nutrition  and  stock  judging.  Veterinary  students  should 
have  a  detailed  knowledge  of  the  structure  of  the  domestic  animals  and 
birds  to  understand  properly  Physiology,  Pathology,  Diagnosis,  Surgery, 
and  Medicine. 

The  following  methods  are  used  in  teaching  anatomy:  didactic  in- 
struction, quiz,  specimen  demonstration,  specimen  study,  lantern  slide 
demonstration,  dissection,  sketching,  the  use  of  the  living  horse  for 
palpating  and  outlining  the  structures.  A  large  and  well  selected  number 
of  specimens  and  lantern  slides  are  used  in  the  class  and  laboratory 
demonstrations  to  emphasize  the  most  important  structures  and  their 
relations  from  a  clinical  standpoint.  These  are  also  available  for  student 
use.  In  the  laboratory  special  attention  is  given  to  fascial  compartments, 
joint  pouchings,  vaginal  sheaths,  bursae,  and  topography.  Class  work 
in  splanchnology  also  covers  the  microscopic  anatomy. 

The  class  work  is  mostly  quizzes,  with  supplemental  statements  and 
demonstrations  by  the  instructors  to  fix  the  knowledge  of  the  structures 
of  the  animal  body  gained  in  the  laboratory  by  the  student.

tice of  the  training  previously  received  in  Anatomy,  Physiology,  Path-

ology,  Bacteriology,  and  Therapeutics.  The  work  is  given  in  the  form 
of  lectures  and  clinical  demonstrations  and  extends  throughout  the 
Junior  and  Senior  years.  Diagnostic  methods  employed  in  the  detection 
of  animal  diseases  are  carried  out  by  each  student  on  the  various  organs 
and  systems  of  the  different  species  of  animals.  The  surrounding  com- 
munity furnishes  an  abundance  of  material  for  such  work.  When  cases 
cannot  be  brought  to  the  hospital,  students  are  taken  to  the  farms  and 
given  actual  practice  in  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  the  cases  under 
supervision  of  an  experienced  member  of  the  faculty.  The  latter  arrange- 
ment provides  a  large  variety  of  cases  and  gives  opportunity  to  observe 
both  healthy  and  diseased  animals  under  natural  farm  conditions,  and 
the  student  is  taught  how  to  overcome  difficulties  frequently  met  with 
on  farms  where  facilities  are  restricted. 

Infectious  diseases  are  considered  in  detail,  diagnosis  and  methods  of 
control  being  especially  emphasized. 

General  sanitation  and  hygiene  are  taken  up  with  special  reference  to 
the  most  practical  means  of  keeping  animals  in  health  and  preventing 
diseases. 

On  completion  of  the  Senior  year  the  student  has  not  only  the  theo- 
retical knowledge,  but  some  of  the  most  practical  methods  of  applying 
such  knowledge.  The  transition  from  the  student  to  the  practitioner 
presents  little  difficulty  after  such  training.

The  Department  of  Veterinary  Pathology  and  Bacteriology  occupies 
the  northeast  building  of  the  veterinary  group.  Two  offices  open  directly 
into  a  private  laboratory  that  is  used  by  those  in  charge  to  investigate 
problems  pertaining  to  their  lines  of  work.  A  large  general  student 
laboratory  facing  the  north,  east,  and  west  is  well  lighted  and  supplied 
with  individual  equipment  for  a  section  of  thirty  students.  A  pathology 
preparation  room,  a  bacteriology  preparation  room  and  a  room-incubator 
open  into  the  main  laboratory.  A  class  lecture  room  to  accommodate 
fifty  students  is  equipped  with  a  combination  lantern-slide,  microscopic 
projection,  and  photomicrographic  machine.  In  the  basement  are  six 
rooms  for  the  housing  of  small  experimental  animals,  for  the  preparation 
and  mounting  of  museum  specimens,  and  for  storage  of  supplies,  and 
a  large  storage  room  for  museum  specimens  used  by  the  department. 

The   work   of  the   department   consists   of   a    systematic   study   of  the

causes  of  disease  and  the  manner  in  which  these  causes  bring  about 
alterations  in  the  anatomical  structure  and  chemical  and  physiological 
activities  of  animal  tissues.  The  application  of  this  study  renders  diag- 
nosis more  accurate  and  forms  the  foundation  for  rational  therapeutics.

The  southeast  building  of  the  Veterinary  group  is  devoted  to  work  in 
Physiology,  Pharmacy,  Materia  Medica,  and  Therapeutics.  This  build- 
ing was  planned  for  the  investigation  and  teaching  of  physiological  and 
pharmacological  subjects,  and  is  admirably  arranged  and  equipped  for 
the  pursuance  of  general  or  research  work  along  these  lines. 

In  the  general  laboratories,  students  are  provided  with  individual 
equipment  as  far  as  possible,  and  thus  self  reliance  and  individual 
responsibility  are  developed.  The  laboratories  have  been  newly  equipped 
and  are  thoroughly  up-to-date.  The  latest  apparatus  for  practical  physi- 
ological, pharmacological,  or  pharmaceutical  demonstration  and  labora- 
tory work  is  available. 

Before  attempting  a  proper  conception  of  diseased  conditions  it  is 
necessary  to  have  an  understanding  of  the  normal  functions  of  the  body 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  29 

structures.  The  purpose  of  the  work  in  Physiology  is  to  make  a  de- 
tailed study  of  the  normal  functions  and  activities  of  the  cells,  tissues, 
organs,  and  systems  constituting  the  animal  body.  The  work  is  pre- 
sented in  the  form  of  lectures,  recitations,  demonstrations,  and  practical 
laboratory  work  in  which  the  chemical  and  physical  processes  of  the 
animal  body  are  considered  in  logical  order.  The  lecture  work  is  supple- 
mented by  the  use  of  dissected  specimens,  practical  demonstrations,  and 
drawings.  The  laboratory  work  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  respira- 
tory, circulatory,  muscular,  and  nervous  systems;  also  digestion  and 
absorption,  and  the  circulating  fluids  of  the  body. 

As  Pharmacy  and  Materia  Medica  are  prerequisite  to  Therapeutics, 
these  subjects  are  considered  in  the  order  named;  the  work  is  presented 
as  lectures,  recitations,  laboratory,  and  demonstration  work.

The  Department  of  Surgery  is  especially  well  equipped  for  its  teach- 
ing. The  hospital  is  160  feet  long  by  60  feet  wide;  has  a  stall  capacity 
for  42  large  animals,  22  dogs,  and  other  small  animals,  and  contains 
three  operating  rooms.  The  largest,  65  by  30  feet,  is  used  for  examining 
animals  as  they  are  admitted,  and  for  minor  operations  and  treatment. 
Joining  it  is  a  clinical  amphitheatre;  next  to  this  is  the  second  operating 
room  for  large  animals,  equipped  with  an  hydraulic  operating  table,  X-ray 
apparatus,  and  other  conveniences.  Between  the  operating  room  and 
clinic  room  is  a  dispensary  and  instrument   room.     On  the  upper  floor, 


30  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

near  the  kennels,  is  a  small  animal  operating  room  equipped  with  white 
enamel  furniture;  also  operating  instruments  and  modern  steam  steri- 
lizers for  water,  instruments,  and  dressings. 

During  the  school  year  more  than  eight  thousand  cases,  including  a 
wide  range  of  surgical  conditions,  are  operated  upon  and  treated  in  the 
clinics,  each  case  being  assigned  to  a  Senior  student  with  one  or  more 
Junior  assistants.  All  operations  are  performed  by  the  professors  in 
charge,  and  the  after  treatment  is  always  under  their  direction,  the  idea 
being  that  the  clinical  cases  are  in  no  way  experimental,  but  that  they 
shall  be  treated  as  similar  cases  are  to  be  treated  later  in  practice. 

All  the  class  room  work  in  surgery  is  conducted  in  the  amphitheatre 
in  the  hospital  building,  where  animals  affected  with  conditions  under 
discussion  as  well  as  instruments  and  apparatus  to  be  used  in  diagnosis, 
treatment,  or  restraint,  can  be  brought  before  the  class.  Clinic  cases 
are  constantly  used  to  correlate  the  theoretical  and  the  practical.

The  department  is  being  supported  by  special  appropriations  made  by 
the  legislature,  and  laboratories  and  experimental  animal  rooms  are 
equipped  for  this  special  work.  There  are  but  few  animal  diseases  en- 
tirely understood,  and  many  are  understood  in  no  particular.  It  is  the 
object  of  this  department  to  investigate  such  diseases  with  the  view  of 
working  out  some  method  by  which  they  can  be  controlled  or  eradicated. 

One  feature  of  the  work  of  this  department  is  the  diagnosis  of  disease 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  31 

by  laboratory  methods  and  examination  of  tissues.  Veterinarians  and 
livestock  owners  are  encouraged  to  send  to  the  laboratory  tissues  and 
materials  from  doubtful  cases.  Careful  and  painstaking  examination 
of  these  is  made,  and  animal  inoculations  are  carried  out  for  those  cases 
which  promise  something  new  or  rare.  Reports  of  such  examinations  are 
submitted  to  the  sender,  and  his  cooperation  is  solicited  in  working  out 
the  cases.  Accurate  records  of  such  work  are  kept  on  file  in  the  labora- 
tory and  are  available  to  members  of  the  Veterinary  Division  at  all  times 
for  their  study  and  use.  Thus  the  work  of  the  department  supports  the 
instruction  work  and  assists  in  keeping  such  instruction  modern. 

VETERINARY  MEDICAL  SOCIETY 

The  Veterinary  Medical  Society  is  an  organization  of  veterinary  stu- 
dents. Two  meetings  are  held  each  month  and  topics  relating  to  veteri- 
nary medicine  are  discussed.  All  veterinary  students  become  members 
and  much  benefit  is  derived  along  literary,  social,  and  professional  lines.

Under  the  provisions  of  the  National  Defense  Act  the  College  has 
secured  the  authorization  and  establishment  of  four  units  of  the  Reserve 
Officers'  Training  Corps:  Infantry,  Field  Artillery,  Engineers,  and  Veter- 
inary. The  primary  object  of  establishing  R.  O.  T.  C.  units  at  certain 
selected  educational  institutions  is  to  qualify  by  systematic  and  standard 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  33 

methods  of  training,  students  at  civil  educational  institutions  for  reserve 
officers.  The  system  of  instruction  prescribed  presents  to  these  students 
a  standardized  measure  of  that  military  training  which  is  necessary  in 
order  to  prepare  them  intelligently  for  the  duties  of  commissioned  officers 
in  the  military  forces  of  the  United  States.  The  aim  of  the  course  is 
not  only  to  make  of  the  student  a  well  trained  soldier,  able  to  fulfill 
his  military,  obligations  in  the  time  of  emergency,  but  to  qualify  him 
as  a  competent  leader  and  instructor  of  others. 

The  four-year  course  leading  to  a  commission  is  divided  into  two 
parts.  The  first  two  years  is  known  as  the  Basic  Course  and  the  last 
two  years  the  Advanced  Course.  The  Basic  Course  is  required  by  the 
College  as  a  prerequisite  to  graduation  of  all  physically  fit  male  students 
excepting  those  who  are  not  citizens  of  the  United  States  or  who  are 
members  of  the  army,  navy,  or  marine  corps.  Upon  the  successful  com- 
pletion of  the  Basic  Course  the  student  may  be  enrolled  in  the  Ad- 
vanced Course,  provided  his  application  is  approved  by  the  Professor 
of  Military  Science  and  Tactics  and  the  President.  Members  of  the 
Reserve  Officers'  Training  Corps  will  have  their  uniforms  furnished  by 
the  Government.  All  other  students  will  receive  information  as  to 
prices  from  the  commanding  officer  of  the  military  department. 

Advanced  Course  in  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  In  the  Junior  and  Senior  years 
of  each  collegiate  course  of  study  given  in  the  catalogue,  certain  sub- 
jects are  marked  with  a  dagger  (t).  If  a  student  is  appointed  to  the 
Reserve  Officers7  Training  Corps,  he  may  omit  all  or  part  of  the  sub- 
jects thus  marked,  in  each  quarter,  provided  that  in  omitting  these  sub- 
jects he-  does  not  omit  more  credit  hours  than  the  Reserve  Officers' 
Training  Corps  requires  of  him  for  the  same  quarter.  If  the  omitted 
subjects  would  exceed  the  number  of  hours  required  for  the  Training 
Corps,  an  elective  must  be  taken  which  will  bring  the  total  number  of 
hours  for  the  quarter  up  to  the  requirements  specified  for  that  quarter 
in  that  course  of  study. 

Those  who  wish  to  enter  the  service  as  Veterinarians  should  enroll  in 
the  course  in  Veterinary  Medicine.

General  Information 


ADMINISTRATION 

The  laws  of  the  United  States  and  State  of  Iowa  provide  for  the  scope 
and  the  management  of  the  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic 
Arts.  It  is  under  the  State  Board  of  Education,  which  consists  of  nine 
members  nominated  by  the  Governor  and  confirmed  by  the  Senate.  This 
Board  appoints  a  finance  committee  consisting  of  three  men  who  give 
their  entire  time  to  the  management  of  the  five  state  educational  insti- 
tutions of  Iowa,  of  which  the  Board  is  in  charge,  under  provision  of  the 
law  and  such  rules  and  regulations  as  the  State  Board  of  Education 
may  prescribe. 

GOVERNMENT 

The  character  of  the  College  buildings  and  the  nature  of  the  work 
make  order,  punctuality,  and  systematic  effort  indispensable.  The  insti- 
tution offers  no  inducement  to  the  idler  or  the  self-indulgent.  All  who 
are  too  independent  to  submit  to  needful  authority,  too  reckless  to  accept 
wholesome  restraint,  or  too  careless  to  take  advantage  of  their  opportuni- 
ties, are  advised  not  to  come.  The  discipline  of  the  College  is  confined 
mainly  to  sending  away  those  who  prove,  on  fair  trial,  to  be  of  this 
class.  The  final  decision  of  all  cases  of  discipline  rests  with  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  College  except  when  he  delegates  such  power  in  particular 
cases  to  the  deans  or  to  some  one  of  the  standing  committees  of  the 
faculty. 

HISTORY 

An  act  establishing  "A  State  Agricultural  College  and  Model  Farm" 
to  be  connected  with  the  entire  agricultural  interests  of  the  state  was 
passed  by  the  legislature  of  Iowa  in  1858.  This  legislature  also  appoint- 
ed a  board  of  commissioners  to  buy  a  farm  and  erect  a  college  building, 
and  selected  a  board  of  trustees  to  secure  a  faculty  and  organize  a  col- 
lege. In  1859  a  farm  of  six  hundred  and  forty  acres  situated  near 
Ames,  was  purchased. 

In  1862  Congress  enacted,  and  President  Lincoln  signed  a  bill  entitled, 
"An  act  donating  public  lands  to  the  several  States  and  Territories, 
which  may  provide  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  Agriculture  and  the 
Mechanic  Arts." 

Section  1  of  this  act  provides  that  for  the  support  of  such  colleges 
there  be  granted  "an  amount  of  public  land,  to  be  apportioned  to  each 
State  in  quantity  equal  to  thirty  thousand  acres  for  each  Senator  and 
Eepresentative  in  Congress  to  which  the  States  are  respectively  entitled 
by  the  apportionment  under  the  census  of  1860." 

Section  4  requires:  "That  all  moneys  derived  from  the  sale  of  land 
shall  constitute  a  perpetual  fund,  the  capital  of  which  shall  remain  for- 
ever undiminished,  and  the  interest  of  which  shall  inviolably  be  appor- 
tioned by  each  State  which  may  take  and  claim  the  benefit  of  this  act, 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDICINE  35 

to  the  endowment,  support  and  maintenance  of  at  least  one  college, 
where  the  leading  object  shall  be,  without  excluding  other  scientific  and 
classical  studies,  and  including  military  tactics,  to  teach  such  branches 
of  learning  as  are  related  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  in  such 
manner  as  the  Legislature  of  the  State  may  provide,  in  order  to  promote 
the  liberal  and  practical  education  of  the  industrial  classes  in  the  several 
pursuits  and  professions  of  life." 

The  General  Assembly  of  Iowa,  September  11,  1862,  accepted  the 
grant  upon  the  conditions  and  under  the  restrictions  contained  in  the 
act  of  Congress,  and  by  so  doing  entered  into  contract  with  the  General 
Government  to  erect  and  keep  in  repair  all  buildings  necessary  for  the 
use  of  the  College.  By  action  of  the  General  Assembly  the  College  was 
changed  from  an  agricultural  institution  into  a  College  of  Agriculture 
and  Mechanic  Arts  with  the  broad  and  liberal  course  of  study  outlined 
in  the  following  paragraph.  The  College  was  formally  opened  on  the 
seventeenth  day  of  March,  1869. 

In  1884  the  General  Assembly  passed  an  act  defining  the  course  of 
study  to  be  pursued  as  follows:  "Section  1.  That  Section  1621  of  the 
Code  is  hereby  repealed  and  the  following  is  enacted  in  lieu  thereof: 
'Section  1621.  There  shall  be  adopted  and  taught  in  the  State  Agricul- 
tural College,  a  broad,  liberal  and  practical  course  of  study,  in  which 
the  leading  branches  of  learning  shall  relate  to  agriculture  and  the  me- 
chanic arts  and  which  shall  also  embrace  such  other  branches  of  learn- 
ing as  will  most  practically  and  liberally  educate  the  agricultural  and 
industrial  classes  in  the  several  pursuits  and  professions  of  life,  including 
military  tactics.  Section  2.  That  all  acts  and  parts  of  acts  inconsistent 
with  this  act  are  hereby  repealed. " 

August  thirtieth  the  following  act  was  approved  by  President  Harri- 
son: "Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the 
United  States  in  Congress  assembled,  that  there  shall  be  and  hereby  is, 
annually  appropriated,  out  of  any  moneys  in  the  treasury  not  otherwise 
appropriated,  arising  from  the  sales  of  public  lands,  to  be  paid,  as  here- 
inafter provided,  to  each  State  and  Territory  for  the  more  complete  en- 
dowment and  maintenance  of  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  agriculture  and 
the  mechanic  arts  now  established,  or  which  may  hereafter  be  estab- 
lished, in  accordance  with  an  act  of  Congress  approved  July  second, 
eighteen  hundred  and  sixty-two,  the  sum  of  fifteen  thousand  dollars  for 
the  year  ending  June  thirtieth,  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety,  and  an 
annual  increase  of  the  amount  of  such  appropriation  thereafter  for  ten 
years  by  an  additional  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  over  the  preceding 
year,  and  the  annual  amount  to  be  paid  thereafter  to  each  State  and 
Territory  shall  be  twenty-five  thousand  dollars,  to  be  applied  only  to 
instruction  in  agriculture,  the  mechanic  arts,  the  English  language  and 
the  various  branches  of  mathematical,  physical,  natural  and  economic 
sciences,  with  especial  reference  to  their  application  in  the  industries  of 
life,  and  to  facilities  for  such  instruction." 

The  income  of  the  College  from  national  and  state  sources  is  there- 
fore expended  in  instruction,  experimentation,  and  illustration  in  agri- 
culture and  in  the  mechanic  arts,  and  in  the  underlying  and  related  sci- 
ences and  literature.  All  buildings  are  erected  and  all  repairs  thereon 
are  made  by  the  State  of  Iowa. 

The  college  property  is  valued  at  $4,962,253.28. 

LOCATION 

The  College  occupies  a  delightful  and  healthful  location  upon  high, 
rolling  land  in  the  west  part  of  Ames,  Story  County.  Situated  at  the 
junction  of  the  north  and  south  branch  and  the  main  double  track  line 


36  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

of  the  Chicago  &  Northwestern  Kailroad,  and  connected  with  all  the 
trunk  lines  of  Iowa,  Ames  is  easily  accessible  from  all  parts  of  the  state. 
An  electric  railway  connects  Ames  and  the  College.  The  Fort  Dodge, 
Des  Moines  and  Southern  Eailway  (electric)  with  stations  on  the  campus 
gives  efficient  service  to  the  College  and  connections  with  the  following 
trunk  lines:  At  Fort  Dodge,  with  the  Illinois  Central  and  Chicago- 
Great  Western;  at  Huxley,  with  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul;  at 
Des  Moines  with  the  Chicago,  Rock  Island  &  Pacific,  the  Chicago  Great 
Western,  and  the  Chicago,  Burlington  &  Quincy. 

Ames  is  a  most  desirable  town  for  wholesome  college  influences.  Its 
people  are  thrifty,  enterprising,  and  cordial.  The  town  has  an  excellent 
system  of  public  schools,  numerous  churches,  waterworks,  and  electric 
lights,  and  it  also  has  a  good  city  government.  It  is  an  inviting  com- 
munity for  heads  of  families  who  wish  to  educate  their  children  and  en- 
joy a  good  environment  at  a  reasonable  expense.  Ames  and  the  College 
are  on  very  cordial  terms,  and  the  citizens  of  Ames  seek  to  promote  the 
efforts  of  the  students  and  the  highest  interests  of  the  College. 


GROUNDS 

Of  the  entire  College  domain  of  1,598  acres,  125  acres  are  set  apart  for 
College  grounds.  These  include  the  experimental  plots,  the  young  for- 
estry plantations,  the  surroundings  of  professors'  dwellings,  and  the  cen- 
tral campus  with  its  beautiful  walks  and  drives,  its  trees,  shrubbery  and 
flower  gardens,  and  its  large  and  stately  buildings.  The  true  principles 
of  landscape  gardening  have  been  so  faithfully  observed  in  the  garden- 
ing and  in  the  location  of  buildings  and  drives  as  to  make  the  entire 
campus  a  large  and  beautiful  park. 


BUILDINGS 

Fifty-seven  commodious  buildings  besides  the  dwelling  houses  and  the 
buildings  for  farm  stock,  machinery,  and  work,  have  been  erected  by  the 
State  for  the  exclusive  use  of  the  various  departments  of  the  College. 
All  of  these  buildings  are  heated  by  steam,  lighted  by  electricity,  and 
supplied  with  pure  water. 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  property,  including  the  buildings 
belonging  to  the  College:

EMPLOYMENT  TOR  STUDENTS 

Although  this  institution  is  not  situated  in  a  large  center  where  there 
is  an  unlimited  amount  of  employment  for  students,  yet  there  are  a 
large  number  who  can  earn  a  part  of  their  expenses  here  at  College. 
Very  few  are  able  to  make  all  their  expenses,  and  no  young  man  should 
come  expecting  to  do  this  unless  he  has  made  definite  arrangements  pre- 
vious to  his  coming. 

The  work  available  for  students  consists  of  employment  in  the  various 
departments,  such  as  office  work,  caring  for  stock,  helping  in  dairy, 
greenhouses,  orchards,  shops,  or  janitor  work  about  the  buildings.  Con- 
siderable work  for  students  is  also  obtained  in  the  business  houses  and 
homes  of  Ames;  a  limited  number  find  employment  in  student  clubs  and 
in  the  cafeteria. 

The  Employment  Bureaus  are  managed  as  follows:  For  men,  by  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association.  Eegular  work  for  women,  Miss 
Harwood,  Dean  of  women;  odd  hour  jobs  for  women,  the  Young  Wo- 
men's Christian  Association.  The  heads  of  various  departments  are  able 
to  secure  employment  for  large  numbers  of  students  during  the  summer 
vacation.  Such  positions  give  the  students  practical  work  that  is  closely 
related  to  the  instruction  given  in  college,  and  thereby  strengthens  them 
for  service  after  graduation.  # 

During  the  present  year  several  hundred  students  have  found  work 
through  the  Association  Employment  Bureaus.  It  is  suggested  that,  on 
account  of  the  heavy  laboratory  work  required  in  the  courses  here,  stu- 
dents should  not  come  expecting  to  put  in  too  much  time  in  labor. 
Facts  regarding  opportunity  for  work  at  the  College  can  be  had  by  writ- 
ing Secretary,  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  or  Secretary,  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  or  Miss  Hazel 
Harwood,  Dean  of  Women. 

Manual  Labor 

The  following  regulations  in  regard  to  manual  labor  have  been  adopted 
by  the  Board  of  Education. 

1.  The  manual  labor  of  students  is  divided  into  two  kinds;  unin- 
structive  labor,  which  shall  be  paid  for  in  money;  and  instructive  labor, 
which  shall  be  compensated  by  the  instruction  given  and  the  skill 
acquired. 

2.  Uninstructive  labor  shall  comprise  all  the  operations  in  the  work- 
shop, the  garden,  upon  the  farm,  and  elsewhere,  in  which  the  work  done 
accrues  to  the  benefit  of  the  College,  and  not  to  that  of  the  student. 
Instructive  labor  shall  embrace  all  those  operations  in  the  workshop, 
museum,  laboratories,  veterinary  hospital,  experimental  kitchen,  gardens, 
experimental  stations,  and  on  the  farm, — labor  in  which  the  sole  pur- 
pose is  the  acquisition  of  knowledge  and  skill. 

3.  Students  shall  engage  in  instructive  labor  in  the  presence  of  the 
professor  in  charge,  and  under  his  instruction  according  to  the  state- 
ment made  in  each  of  the  courses  of  study. 

The  compensated  labor  furnished  by  the  division  of  Agriculture,  of 
Veterinary  Medicine,  and  of  Engineering,  is  given  by  each  to  its  own 
students  and  is  eagerly  sought.  Compensated  labor  is  awarded  to  the 
most  faithful  and  meritorious  students  in  each  department.  This  labor 
is  paid  for  according  to  its  value  to  the  College,  but  no  student  should 
expect  to  pay  the  main  part  of  his  expenses  by  labor  while  here.  The 
College  cannot  furnish  the  work  and,  even  if  it  could,  the  student's  time 
is  needed  chiefly  for  study.  Still,  many  worthy  and  industrious  students 
pay  a  considerable  part  of  their  expenses  by  labor;  over  $25,000  is  paid 
out  by  the  College  thus  each  year  to  students  and  graduate  assistants. 


38  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

HOSPITAL 

Sanitary  conditions  surrounding  the  College  are  excellent.  The  build- 
ings are  situated  on  high  ground  with  good  natural  drainage.  The 
water  supply  is  exceptionally  pure  and  abundant.  The  sewer  system  and 
sewage  disposal  plant  are  the  best  that  modern  sanitary  engineering 
can  devise.  Nevertheless  in  this,  as  in  other  like  institutions,  where 
students  are  drawn  from  a  wide  territory,  various  diseases  are  brought 
by  the  students  themselves.  In  order  to  control  epidemics  and  properly 
care  for  other  cases  of  illness  or  injury,  a  hospital  is  provided.  A 
new  hospital  of  45  beds  capacity  with  a  large  dispensatory  and  all  mod- 
ern conveniences  has  been  constructed.  In  connection  with  this  is  the 
old  hospital  of  18  beds  for  special  cases.  This  hospital  is  under  the 
charge  of  the  Department  of  Hygiene.  There  are  three  physicians,  a 
head  nurse  with  the  necessary  number  of  assistant  nurses,  and  other 
employees  necessary  for  the  operation  of  a  completely  equipped,  modern 
hospital. 

The  expenses  of  the  hospital  are  defrayed  from  a  fund  accruing  from 
the  fees  paid  by  students.  A  portion  ($2.)  of  the  full  incidental  fee  of 
$6.  per  quarter  is  apportioned  for  hospital  charges  and  the  privileges  of 
the  hospital  and  dispensary  are  extended  to  all  students  paying  this 
fee,  providing  that  tne  physicians  shall  be  paid  for  calls  at  their  resi- 
dences. Persons  not  making  the  deposit  will  be  admitted  to  the  hospital 
upon  the  basis  of  a  charge  of  $21.00  a  week,  within  the  discretion  of 
the  College  physicians.  All  students  who  pay  the  full  regular  fee  are 
insured  medical  attendance,  nursing,  and  medicine,  in  illness  or  accident; 
and  consultation  and  medicine  for  minor  ailments  in  accordance  with 
the  regulations  herein  published.  The  charges  named  are  based  upon 
the  probable  actual  cost  of  medical  attention  and  hospital  service,  and 
the  fund  created  is  carefully  devoted  to  these  purposes.  The  College 
cannot  assume  any  liability  beyond  the  extent  of  the  fund  so  created. 
The  hospital  has  proved  to  be  a  great  blessing  to  the  students. 

The  following  regulations  apply  to  the  privileges  of  the  hospital: 

1.  Students  entering  the  hospital  shall  be  charged  $8.50  a  week  ($1.25 
per  day)  for  board,  room,  light,  and  heat.  But  for  any  time  in  excess  of 
three  consecutive  weeks  spent  in  the  hospital,  a  charge  shall  be  made 
of  $1;50  per  day. 

2.  In  case  a  special  nurse  or  physician  is  employed,  the  expense  shall 
be  borne  by  the  particular  patient,  the  selection  of  such  nurse  or  phy- 
sician to  be  approved  by  the  President  of  the  College  and  the  College 
Physicians. 

3.  The  College  assumes  no  responsibility  whatever  in  case  of  small- 
pox; nor  shall  the  privileges  of  the  hospital  be  extended  to  such  cases. 

4.  The  President  and  the  College  Physicians  may  require  of  students 
entering  the  College  a  certificate  of  a  reputable  physician  .showing  suc- 
cessful vaccination.  On  account  of  prevalence  of  smallpox  in  some  locali- 
ties in  the  United  States,  it  is  strongly  urged  that  all  students  entering 
Iowa  State  College  be  vaccinated  before  leaving  home.  This  is  recom- 
mended in  order  that  valuable  time  may  not  be  lost  during  the  college 
year  by  the  necessity  of  being  vaccinated. 

5.  The  College  physicians  are  authorized  to  exclude  from  the  dormi- 
tories and  recitation  rooms  any  person  afflicted  with  a  contagious 
disease. 

ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 

The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Iowa  State  College  was  organized  in 
1876.  Its  purpose  is  to  promote  the  highest  interests  of  the  institution 
and  to  increase  friendship  and  sympathy  among  students  and  alumni. 


DIVISION  OF  VETERINARY  MEDIdNi:  39 

The  present  officers  of  the  association  are: 

President,  M.  J.  Riggs,  '83,  Toledo,  Ohio. 

Vice-President,  Mark  G.  Thornburg,    '10,  Emmetsburg,  Iowa.

General  Secretary,  Ward  M.  Jones,   '97,  Ames,  Iowa. 

The  annual  meeting  and  banquet  is  held  commencement  week.  A  local 
association  was  organized  at  Ames  in  April,  1903,  in  order  to  arrange  the 
annual  .meetings  and  to  keep  the  local  alumni  in  touch  with  one  another. 

Active  local  branches  of  the  general  association  exist  in  Southern  and 
Northern  California,  Washington,  D.  C,  Pittsburgh,  Chicago,  Spokane, 
Seattle,  Minneapolis  and  St.  Paul,  Omaha,  New  York  City,  Kansas  City, 
Detroit,  Cleveland,  Fargo,  N.  D.,  and  Brookings,  S.  D.;  in  the  state,  at 
Des  Moines,  Sioux  City,  Davenport,  Cedar  Rapids  and  in  several 
counties. 

The  Alumnus,  the  official  organ  of  the  association,  appears  monthly 
except  in  August  and  September.  It  is  under  the  supervision  of  the 
general  secretary. 

The  offices  of  the  association  are  on  the  second  floor  of  Alumni  Hall, 
where  all  alumni  and  ex-students  will  find  a  hearty  welcome. 

STUDENT  PUBLICATIONS 

The  Iowa  State  Student  is  a  tri-weekly  newspaper  published  by  a  staff 
appointed  from  the  student  body  and  devoted  to  the  news  of  the  College. 

The  Iowa  Agriculturist  is  an  agricultural  monthly  magazine  published 
by  the  students  of  the  Agricultural  Division,  in  cooperation  with  the  De- 
partment of  Agricultural  Journalism. 

The  Iowa  Engineer  is  published  monthly  by  the  students  of  the  En- 
gineering Division. 

The  Iowa  Home  Maker  is  a  home  magazine  published  monthly  by  the 
students  of  the  Home  Economics  Division. 

The  Bomb  is  an  annual  published  by  the  Junior  class. 

PUBLIC  SPEAKING  COUNCIL 

The  Public  Speaking  Council  is  an  organization  composed  of  three 
faculty  members  recommended  by  the  President  of  the  College  and  ap- 
pointed by  the  Board  of  Education;  and  one  representative  from  each 
of  the  eight  literary  societies,  the  sophomore,  the  junior,  and  the  senior 
classes,  and  the  Dramatic  Club.  The  Council  promotes  and  manages  all 
dramatic  and  public  speaking  activities  at  Iowa  State  College.  These 
activities  include  intersociety  and  intercollegiate  debates,  dramatic, 
oratorical,  and  extempore  speaking  contests,  joint  literary  society  pro- 
grams, literary  society  graduation  exercises,  and  all  class  plays. 

Teams  of  three  members  from  each  of  the  societies  meet  in  two  series 
of  debates  during  the  fall  quarter.  In  the  spring  the  successive  winners 
meet  in  the  semi-final  and  final  debates  for  the  Kennedy  cup.  The  final 
winners  are  awarded  the  cup  for  one  year,  and  the  name  of  their  society 
is  inscribed  upon  it.  This  series  of  debates  offers  excellent  training  for 
the  inter-collegiate  debates.  Iowa  State  College  is  a  member  of  three 
debating  leagues.  In  the  fall  two  debating  teams  of  three  students  meet 
Kansas  Agricultural  College;  in  the  spring,  Purdue  University,  Michigan 
Agricultural  College,  Wisconsin  and  Minnesota. 

There  is  a  growing  interest  in  extemporaneous  speaking  in  Iowa  State 
College.  The  members  of  the  faculty  have  donated  to  the  Council  a 
trophy  to  be  awarded  annually  to  the  winner  of  the  extempore  speaking 
•contest. 


40  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

The  sophomore,  junior,  senior,  inter-literary  society,  and  dramatic  club 
plays  offer  training  in  dramatics  to  a  great  many  students.  The  funds 
from  these  plays  pay  a  large  part  of  the  expenses  of  public  speaking 
events. 

LITERARY  SOCIETIES 

The  work  of  the  eight  literary  societies  serves  not  only  to  supplement 
the  social  and  literary  work  of  the  College,  but  also  to  aid  the  student 
in  securing  that  training  so  necessary  to  enable  him  to  appear  before  an 
audience,  that  training  which  every  student  needs  and  which  cannot  be 
secured  in  the  class  room  alone.  Every  student  is  invited,  even  urged, 
to  join  one  of  these  societies.

RELIGIOUS   LIFE   AT   THE    COLLEGE 

Orange  Howard  Cessna,  Chaplain 

Fred  M.  Hansen,  General  Secretary,  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Angeline  McKinley,  General  Secretary,  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

The  college  life  is  permeated  with  religious  influences.  The  following 
are  among  the  more  evident  moral  and  religious  forces  in  operation 
throughout  the  year: 

1.  The  Sunday  Morning  Chapel  Services  are  held  in  Agricultural 
Hall  auditorium  and  are  addressed  by  prominent  clergymen  of  all  denom- 
inations who  accept  special  invit.ations  to  come  to  the  College  for  this 
purpose.  These  services  are  well  attended.  Usually  the  hall  is  filled  to 
its  capacity  of  nearly  900.  An  attractive  feature  is  the  music  furnished 
by  a  choir  of  about  seventy  college  students. 

2.  The  Young  Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian  Associations. 
These  two  organizations  are  quartered  in  Alumni  Hall  on  the  campus, 
where  parlors,  reading  rooms,  game  rooms,  a  cafeteria,  etc.  are  provided. 
The  room  and  employment  bureau  for  men  is  handled  by  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
The  Y.  W.  C.  A.  handles  the  employment  bureau  for  women  with  the 
exception  of  those  working  for  room  and  board,  who  are  placed  by  the 
Dean  of  Women.  It  also  has  the  room  registry  for  faculty  and  other 
employed  women.  Both  carry  on  a  varied  and  vigorous  religious  work, 
religious  meetings,  Bible  classes  in  the  houses  where  students  room, 
and  other  activities  tending  to  build  up  the  moral  and  spiritual  life  of 
students.  At  times  the  total  number  of  Bible  classes  reaches  nearly  100. 
The  two  Associations  are  rated  as  among  the  leading  organizations  of 
their  kind  in  the  United  States. 

3.  College  Pastors  and  Church  Work.  Several  churches  maintain  col- 
lege pastors  for  work  with  students  as  their  specific  task.  These  are  as 
follows:  Congregational,  Episcopal,  Methodist,  Presbyterian.  All  Ames 
pastors  and  churches  maintain  special  work  for  students.  There  are  ten 
denominations  represented  and  students  find  an  unusual  opportunity 
not  only  for  worship  but  for  active  participation  in  Sunday  School, 
Young  People's  work  and  other  special  forms  of  Christian  effort. 

Geneva  Scholarship 

The  Faculty  Women's  Club  contributes  $50  towards  the  expenses  of 
a  delegate  to  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  Central  Student  Conference  at  Lake 
Geneva.  This  fund  is  awarded  the  third  quarter  of  the  Sophomore  year 
by  a  committee  from  the  club.  Scholarship,  accomplishment  in  Y.  W. 
C.  A.  work,  interest  in  general  college  activities,  and  personality  are  the 
points  considered  in  making  the  award.

LIBRARY  REGULATIONS 

The  general  library  is  primarily  for  free  reference  use;  any  student 
or  citizen  of  the  state  may  use  the  books  in  the  reading  rooms.  The 
privilege  of  drawing  books  for  use  outside  the  building  is  accorded  to 
all  members  of  the  instruction  force,  to  all  registered  students,  and  to 
other  accredited  persons.  Books  in  the  general  library  not  reserved  for 
classes  may  be  borrowed  for  home  use  for  two  weeks  and  may  be  re- 
newed for  two  weeks  more  if  not  specially  restricted  or  called  for.  All 
books  are  subject  to  recall  any  time  when  needed  for  college  work. 

General  reference  books,  all  general  periodicals  and  certain  other 
groups  of  books  are  to  be  consulted  in  the  reading  rooms  only. 

Books  from  the  stacks  which  are  not  returned  on  time  are  subject  to 
a  fine  of  5c  a  day  after  notice  has  been  sent  that  the  book  is  due.  Books 
from  the  Reserve  shelves  are  subject  to  a  fine  of  50c  for  each  hour  kept
